The electric and thermoelectric properties of indium antimonide

  • Published:
Cechoslovackij fiziceskij zurnal Aims and scope

Conclusion

In comparing these results with the theory, the following conclusions were reached:

  1. 1.

    The position of the Fermi level was determined by thermoelectric measurement and ranges found in which the electron gas is degenerated.

  2. 2.

    In the range of the intrinsic conductivity, lattice scattering of electrons predominates.

  3. 3.

    An analysis of the results shows that donors probably have no definite activation energy but the permitted values of the energy of electrons of donors form a band which overlaps the conductivity band.

  4. 4.

    The effective mass of electrons is independent of the temperature in the range from 150 to 700 °K its magnitude being 3.6×10−2 m.
