Abstract
The electrical conductivity of CdF2 semiconductor crystals is measured using the microwave intracavity technique at a frequency of ∼35 GHz. The crystals are activated with yttrium donor impurities and indium and gallium ions forming bistable one-electron donor impurity and two-electron DX centers. The conclusion is drawn that the concentration of electrons in the conduction band of CdF2: Ga crystals has an anomalously high value. This confirms the results obtained in earlier NMR investigations of CdF2 semiconductor crystals at room temperature.
