It is demonstrated that the method of microwave photoconductivity developed
previously for the study of ultrapure Si can be successfully employed in t
he qualitative diagnostics of pure high-resistivity GaAs. Data on the micro
wave photoconductivity of GaAs are in good agreement with the results of me
asurements of the Hall effect, C-V characteristics, and low-temperature pho
toluminescence. (C) 2001 MAIK "Nauka/ Interperiodica".
