    Abstract:
    A quantitative determination of the contributions of the triply negatively charged Ga vacancies (VGa3-) and of the doubly positively charged Ga self-interstitials (IGa2+) to the Ga self-diffusion coefficient in GaAs has been carried out. Under thermal equilibrium and intrinsic conditions, the VGa3- contribution is characterized by an activation enthalpy of 6 eV for As-rich crystals and of 7.52 eV for Ga-rich crystals, while the IGa2+ contribution is characterized by an activation enthalpy of 4.89 eV for As-rich crystals and of 3.37 eV for Ga-rich crystals
