Electron transport phenomena in small-gap semiconductors
Abstract
Electron transport phenomena in small-gap III–V, II–VI and IV–VI semiconducting compounds are reviewed. We emphasize peculiarities due to nonparabolic energy-momentum dependence in the conduction band and the structure of Bloch wavefunctions, when electron energy becomes comparable to that of the gap. General theoretical framework is compared with real conduction bands in the materials of interest. Thermodynamic properties of electron gas are derived for arbitrary nonparabolic and nonspherical energy bands. We develop a theory of d.c. transport phenomena and free-carrier optics based on a linear Boltzmann equation solved for an ellipsoidal band of arbitrary nonparabolicity. Elastic electron scattering is considered taking into account true Bloch eigenstates of the conduction electrons. We give a unified description of electron mobility, thermoelectric power, thermomagnetic phenomena and free-carrier optical effects illustrating the theoretical methods with experimental results of various authors. It is demonstrated that the energy band structure of small-gap semiconductors must be consistently used in the realistic description of their transport properties.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
