Recent results suggesting that 78‐meV acceptors appear only inn‐type material while 68‐meV acceptors appear inp‐type material are in direct conflict with several clear experiments which establish the existence of a 78‐meV acceptor inp‐type GaAs beyond any reasonable doubt. The available evidence for the 78‐meV center is reviewed and some possible sources of error in DLTS and photoluminescence data are mentioned.
