Исследованы температурные зависимости концентрации и подвижности в термоциклах 300-700-300 K при разной длительности низкотемпературного отжига образца, предваряющего начало каждого термоцикла. Параллельно проведены 1500-часовый отжиг материала в перепаде температур 310-670 K и последующие измерения его термоэлектрических параметров. Результаты анализируются с учетом особенностей кристаллической структуры и ковалентного характера химической связи в ZnSb. Оценка рабочего диапазона и срока службы данного состава выполнена на основе модели взаимодействия примесных дефектов с понижением их акцепторной активности и ростом сечения рассеяния дырок при низких температурах.

The twofold decrease in hole concentration of all PbTe <NaTe> samples at 77–450 K and the same effect achieved at 77 K and heavy doping only due to introduction in PbTe of tin small addition, supplemented by observation in indicated range of temperature hysteresis in hole concentration, are the grounds for developing an other approach to a study of the energy spectrum in A(IV)B(VI) materials, an alternative two-band model. It is based on the common for these materials phenomenon — compensation of current carriers as a reaction on electroactive doping. The appearance of compensation is associated with initial (at temperatures below 77 K) two-charge process — participation in a single doping act of the pair of electrons due to their mutual attraction. With a rise in temperature, as with introduction of tin, the situation is changed. The study of all aspects of transformation is a task for further research.
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.
