AbstractTwo-electron transition occurs when the exciton bound to a neutral donor (DBE) recombines and leaves the donor in an excited state. The two-electron energy is therefore lower than that of the DBE peak by the difference in ground and excited state of the neutral donor. In a magnetic field the two-electron satellite splits into several components. These intra-donor excitations have been studied in homoepitaxial GaN up to magnetic fields reaching 23T. For Faraday (B‖c) configuration the two-electron transition splits mainly into 2s, 2p0, 2p+ and 2p- components. The total splitting between 2p+ and 2p- is equal to Landau energy. For Voigt (B???c) configuration in addition to transition to 2s, 2p0, 2p- and 2p+ there are additional lines which origin is discussed. It has been found that for two configurations of magnetic field the separation between 2p+ and 2p- is not exactly equal, what indicates the anisotropy of the electron effective mass. It has been found that m| = 0.205m0 and m??? = 0.225m0.
