Popis: Selective pair luminescence (SPL) has been used to measure the excited states of shallow acceptors in undoped vapor‐phase epitaxial (VPE) grown GaAs and Mg‐implanted VPE GaAs. A set of experimental data for Mg excited states in GaAs is presented here. The results show that the 2P3/2 ‐, 2S3/2 ‐, and 2P5/2 ‐1S3/2 energy differences are 17.0, 20.0, and 21.0 meV, respectively. The value of the 2S3/2 state agrees very well with the previously reported two‐hole transition luminescence result, and the other two values for the excited states agree very well with those reported for far‐infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy. This assignment was further confirmed by making SPL measurements on Mg‐implanted GaAs.
