The interaction between substitutional and interstitial donors and single o
r double acceptors in Si, GaAs, InP, and InAs has been studied by perturbed
angular correlation spectroscopy (PAC). For the case of Si, complex format
ion between substitutional donors (As, P) and different radioactive accepto
rs (In-111, Cd-111m, Cd-117) has been observed. The formation of Cd-hydroge
n pairs using either Cd-111m or Cd-117 is discussed for GaAs, InP, and InAs
.
