Abstract
Electron spin resonance (ESR) of shallow donor electrons in -type GaAs has been observed by means of direct detection of microwave absorption at magnetic fields of 6–11 T. The ESR structure is smeared out over a magnetic field range of up to T. The line shape is strongly asymmetric and depends on the magnetic-field sweep direction. These unusual features are assigned to microwave-induced nuclear polarization under ESR conditions, leading to strong effective nuclear fields (Overhauser shift). The ESR curves show a signature of nuclear magnetic resonance if an additional radio-frequency field is applied. The observed ESR line shape is well reproduced by numerical simulation. Furthermore, the Landé factor of weakly localized electrons in GaAs has been accurately determined at .
