Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

A method of determining the parameters of local centers through the experimental dependence of charge carrier concentration on temperature is presented. The search algorithm for optimal parameter value as employed with a computer is developed. The method is verified by analysis of the experimental function p(T) for germanium and gallium arsenide specimens.
