Infrared Absorption and Electron Effective Mass inn-Type Gallium Arsenide

Spitzer, W. G., Whelan, J. M.·1959·Physical Review

Abstract

The infrared absorption between 0.85 and 25 microns has been measured as a function of carrier concentration for $n$-type single-crystal gallium arsenide. The absorption in the 1- to 5-micron region is compatible with a model in which there are minima \ensuremath{\sim}0.25 ev above the bottom of the conduction band. Infrared reflectivity measurements on several samples of different carrier concentrations were used to deduce the free-carrier contribution to the electric susceptibility and the electron effective mass. The results indicate a value for the mass of $(0.078\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.004)m$ with an indication of an increase for the sample of highest carrier concentration. This value is substantially larger than previously reported values.

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.
