Radiation defect band in Pb1-xSnxSe(x<0.03) alloys irradiated with electrons

Abstract

The effect of hydrostatic pressure on the galvanomagnetic properties has been investigated. It was shown that the hole concentration increase under pressure due to the motion of the energy bands at the Brillouin zOne L-point and the flow of electrons from the valence band to the radiation defect band Et1. Obtained experimental data were used to determine the parameters of irradiation-induced defect band Et1 by comparing theoretical and experimental pressure dependencies of hole concentration.
