To distinguish bandlike and localized defects, the internal extended equilibration at states associated with the defect has to be compared with the inverse time r, extended emission carrier carrier rate, Rp~, and the inverse capture rate, Rp~, of the defect (Fig. 1, [9]). The case, that r, is the smaller time, should hold for bandlike states, which are -extended at the defect, while that r, is the larger time, should the case, of point defect hold for localized clouds.

We derived the factorization (7) using the assumptions te » tp and fE(0) 0, valid for the high-T sides of typical DLTS-lines.
