The frequency dependences of the real (ε) and imaginary (ε ″) components of the complex dielectric constant, tangent of dielectric loss (tan) and ac conductivity (σac) of the obtained TlIn1-хErхS2 (0 x 0.01) crystals have been studied in the frequency range f = 5104–3.5107 Hz. It is established that in TlIn1-хErхS2 a relaxation dispersion of ε and ε″ takes place. The effect of erbium concentration (Er) in TlIn1-хErхS2 crystals on their dielectric coefficients was studied. In the high frequency range, the ac conductivity of TlIn1-хErхS2 crystals obeyed the σac ~ f 0.8 law, which is characteristic of a hopping charge transfer mechanism at states localized near the Fermi level. The parameters of states localized in the band gap and the influence of the chemical composition of the TlIn1-хErхS2 crystals on these parameters are estimated.
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.
