The topological interaction of impurities with dislocations was studied theoretically, and it was found that this interaction reduced the binding energies of carriers to Coulombic impurities, for off-center valleys in semiconductors, by more than a factor of 2 in the case of an isotropic carrier mass, and by a factor of 4 in the case of highly anisotropic valleys.
