Field effect studies have been made on the electrical properties of a silver mica p-type Sn Te thin film metal-insulator-semiconductor structure in the temperature range 100-300 K. It has been observed that the Hall coefficient decreases with an increase in the negative gate field, while the effect of a positive gate field is the opposite. The mobility, however, increases with an increase in the positive gate field in the low temperature region, and decreases sharply as the temperature increases. The negative field, on the other hand, reduces the mobility in the whole temperature range. The results have been explained on the basis of a two valence band model of Sn Te.
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.
