Abstract

Impurity centres dominate the electrical properties of semiconductors because they introduce extra energy levels into the forbidden electronic energy band gap. In spite of being studied intensively for a long time, even in Germanium and Silicon, our knowledge of their behaviour is most imperfect. In these papers attention will be focussed primarily on these relatively simple materials.
