Abstract. An analysis of the 4.2 K exciton luminescence spectra of semi-insulating GaAs crystals with different concentrations of shallow acceptors (Ñ) and donors (Si) is given. As a result, the 4.2 K capture coefficients of free excitons by shallow neutral acceptors [bA0X = (4 ± 2) 10-8 cm3/s] and donors [bD0X= (1.5 ± 0.8) 10-7 cm3/s] are found and also an estimate of the capture coefficient of free excitons by ionized shallow donors was made [ bD+X>>bD0X ].

Keywords: gallium arsenide, shallow acceptors and donors, exciton luminescence, capture coefficients of free excitons.
