HgSe single crystals are grown by zone melting. The compound crystallizes in the zinc-blende structure and splits into (100) planes. For temperatures ranging from 90° to 500°K conductivity, Hall effect and thermoelectric power are measured; above 500°K evaporation of HgSe begins. The lowest carrier concentration of the crystals at 300°K is 3.5×1017 cm−3. Only n-type conduction is found. The highest mobility at 300°K is 18 500 cm2/v sec. Magnetoresistance shows that the longitudinal effect is very small compared with the transverse. From the photo emf of the p-n junction Se/HgSe crystal and from the absorption edge of layers the energy gap of 0.5 to 0.75 ev is obtained. Using the temf and the absorption an estimation of the effective mass leads to 0.04 to 0.07 m0.
Es wird eine Methode angegeben, nach der Metalle und Selen gleichzeitig an der Kathode abgeschieden werden können; dabei entstehen stabile chemische Verbindungen mit halbleitenden Eigenschaften. Diese Verbindungen können in gewünschter Weise von der stöchiometrischen Zusammensetzung abweichen. Außerdem können weitere Komponenten zugegeben werden. Die elektrischen Eigenschaften dieser so hergestellten Schichten wurden untersucht.
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.
