“…The problem of doping, that was investigated early without drawing definitive conclusions, [8][9][10][11][12][13] has been recently approached by other groups that have specially studied the influence of impurities from groups I and II as acceptors in GaSe. [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] Room temperature hole concentrations of the order of 10 15 -10 16 cm Ϫ3 have been reported by doping with Cd, 17 Zn, 18 Cu, 19 and Ag. 20 Activation energies for hole concen-tration are of the order of 300 meV for Cd, 17 Zn, 18 or Mn 21 doped GaSe, of the order of 40 and 140 meV for Cu-doped samples, 19 and of the order of 60 meV for Ag-doped samples.…”
