The electrical properties of MBE-grown GaSb have been investigated as a step toward obtaining n-AlGaSb epilayers with low carrier concentrations and high mobilities for high-performance photodetectors at 2 {mu}m and beyond. By doping with Te donors provided by a GaTe source, we have obtained n-GaSb layers, on (100) GaAs substrates, with Hall mobilities as high as 7600 and 12 600 cm{sup 2}V s at room temperature and 77 K, respectively. These values are {approximately} 50% greater than the highest previously reported values for n-GaSb epilayers grown on similar substrates. 13 refs., 4 figs., 1 tab.
