Undoped GaSb crystals with mirror-like surfaces were obtained by liquid phase epitaxy from Sb-rich solutions. The background carrier concentration strongly depended on the growth temperature. By growing crystals below 600 °C, we can obtain a GaSb crystal with a background carrier concentration under 1016 cm-3. Photoluminescence studies showed that native defects related to Sb vacancies were significantly reduced in the GaSb crystal.
