Abstract:
Galvanomagnetic properties of gallium-doped Pb1?xGexTe (0.04≤x≤0.08) alloys were studied. It is shown that gallium doping induces a deep impurity level in the alloy band gap; the energy position of this level depends on the germanium content in the alloy. A model assuming that doping with gallium results in the emergence of two defect levels in the energy spectrum of the alloys is proposed.
