Abstract
The dynamic behaviour of α, β and screw dislocations in GaAs and the influence of various kinds of impurities on it have been investigated. Dislocation generation is strongly suppressed in a crystal doped with some kinds of impurities. The suppression of dislocation generation by impurity doping is well related to the immobilization effect of dislocations due to impurity gettering. Electrically active impurities reduce or enhance the dislocation velocities depending on both the electrical property of the impurities and the type of dislocations. The morphology of fresh dislocation loops reflects the dynamic characteristics of dislocations which are governed by the elementary process of dislocation motion.
