The free-carrier effective mass is estimated from the measurement of the microwave Faraday effect in n-CdS at liquid nitrogen temperature. The experiment is performed using the straight-through transmission technique at 24 GHz. A theoretical computation of the Faraday rotation is made by the theory of Donovan and Webster (1963) and compared with the experimental value for the combination of the different scattering mechanisms namely piezoelectric potential, deformation potential, and polar optical phonon scattering.
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.
