To identify the localized levels in GaS0.5Se0.5 single crystals, the dark electrical conductivity, current-voltage characteristics and photoconductivity measurements were carried out in the temperature range of 250-400 K. Temperature dependence of dark electrical conductivity and the space-charge limited current studies indicate the presence of a single discrete trapping level located at 0.31 eV below the conduction band with a density of about 1.3 x 10(15) cm(-3). The conductivity data above 320 K reveal an additional donor level with activation energy of 0.40 eV indicating the extrinsic nature of conduction. The spectral distribution of photocurrent in the photon energy range of 0.65-5.9 eV reveals an indirect band gap of 2.26 eV. The photocurrent-illumination intensity dependence follows the law I-ph proportional to F-gamma, with gamma being 1.0, 0.65, and 0.5 at low, moderate and high illumination intensities, respectively. The corresponding behavior indicates the domination of monomolecular recombination, near equal densities of trapped and recombination centers and bimolecular recombination. It is observed that the photocurrent increases in the temperature range from 250 K up to T-m = 360 K and decreases for T > T-m. The temperature dependence of the photocurrent reveals two additional impurity levels with activation energies of 0.14 and 0.10 eV below and above Tm, respectively.

Dark electrical conductivity and photoconductivity of Tl2InGaTe4 single crystals have been measured and analyzed in the temperature region 100-300 K. The dark electrical conductivity measurements revealed an intrinsic- or extrinsic-type of conductivity above or below 210 K, respectively. From intrinsic conductivity data analysis, the energy band gap of Tl2InGaTe4 crystals was determined as 0.85 eV. In the extrinsic region, the dark conductivity arises from a donor energy level located at 0.30 eV below the c...

By means of the temperature dependence of dark electrical resistivity, Hall coefficient and photocurrent measurements the d...
Nonlinear Seebeck and Peltier effects in quantum point contacts
Çipiloğlu, Mustafa A; Turgut, Sadi; Tomak, Mehmet (Wiley, 2004-09-01)
The charge and entropy currents across a quantum point contact are expanded as a series in powers of the applied bias voltage and the temperature difference. After that, the expansions of the Seebeck voltage in temperature difference and the Peltier heat in current are obtained. With a suitable choice of the average temperature and chemical potential, the lowest order nonlinear term in both cases appear to be of third order. The behavior of the third-order coefficients in both cases are then investigated fo...
