Abstract⎯We show possibility in principle to determine some parameters (density-of-states effective mass of different valleys, energy distances between valleys, energies of ionization of impurity levels split from different valleys) of the band structure in many-valley semiconductors, based on the experimental curve of temperature dependence of overall concentration of charge carriers.
Abstract⎯A possibility of separate determination of concentrations of donors and acceptors in manyvalley semiconductors on the basis of temperature dependence of total concentration of charge carriers is shown. As distinct from a single-valley semiconductor, it is necessary to take into account that effective mass of density of states and effective ionization energy are not constant, but depend on temperature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
