18. In principle, tensile strain in Ga As1-x Nx grown on GaAs may affect slightly the valence band (and acceptor level) gyromagnetic factor as found in ZnSe:N [W. Heimbrodt, C. L. Orange, D. Wolverson, J. J. Davies, K. Kimura, and T. Yao, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.56.6889 56, 6889 (1997)].
19. In the Ga As1-x Nx GaAs sample with the highest effective N concentration (x=0.6%) among those investigated here, the strain would shift the light-hole component of the carbon level 4 meV above that of the heavy-hole [Ki Soo Kim, Gye Mo Yang, Hyun Wook Shim, Kee Young Lim, Eun-Kyung Suh, and Hyung Jae Lee, J. Appl. Phys. JAPIAU 0021-8979 10.1063/1.366311 82, 5103 (1997)]. However, under the relatively high temperatures and power densities employed, carrier population of the heavy-hole component is most likely dominant with respect to the light-hole one thanks to its greater density of states (see Ref.).
