Abstract
Deep level transient capacitance spectroscopy has been used to examine γ-ray induced defect centres in germanium crystals grown under widely varying conditions. A deep acceptor level at Eν + 0.38 eν has been observed for the first time in all p-type samples; this was removed by annealing at 675 deg C for three hours. A new deep donor level at Eс - 0.42 eν observed in n-type material was not removed by this procedure.
