We report on measurements of the ultrasonic attenuation in GaAs: Mn at frequencies between 400 and 2000 MHz and at temperatures between 1 and 35 K. The results indicate that there is a level 3 meV above the acceptor round state.

The ultrasonic attenuation in Ge (Ga, In) has been measured in the frequency range from 500 MHz to 2.5 GHz, and from room temperature down to 1 K. Below 10 K the attenuation rises as ω2/T. For the first time saturation of the attenuation has been observed for ground state of a shallow acceptor. These results can be interpreted as due to resonance interaction with level splittings of a broad distribution with width of about 0.1 meV.
