On the basis of experimental data the model of energy spectrum of SnTe doped with In taking into account the high concentration of nonstoichiometric vacancies in SnTe and variable valency of the In atoms is proposed. According to the model the valence band contains tow resonance bands corresponding to the In atoms localized in octa- and tetrahedral positions. The vacancy band is the lowest on the energy scale of the valence band, followed by impurity bands. The gaps and their temperature dependencies, carried mobilities in the different impurity bands are obtained. The doping mechanism of In introduced in different proportions with vacancies is determined by impurity band state occupation in consecutive order according to their location on the energy scale and by the Fermi level position. The Fermi level is located in one of the impurity bands depending on proportion of In1+ and In3+ atoms and vacancies.","PeriodicalId":276773,"journal":{"name":"Material Science and Material Properties for Infrared Optics","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125684197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The photocurrent has been measured under short-circuit conditions for the electric vector of the light wave parallel to the plane of the waveguide (TE) as well as perpendicular to the plane of the waveguide (TM). Distinct edges are observed in the quantum efficiency spectra and attributed to the onset of transitions form the heavy hole to electron and light hole to electron subbands, respectively. The observation of different spectral features in TE and TM spectra is discussed in terms of selection rules and mode coupling into the waveguide. Edge positions are compared with calculations of the well states. Coulomb interaction manifests itself in the occurrence of n equals 1 excitonic lines at the hh1-e1, 1h1-e1 and 1h2-e2 subband edges. Temperature dependent measurements indicate mechanisms for carrier escape form the QW. At intermediate temperatures the photocurrent is thermally activated, an explanation in terms of thermionic emission theory is given, and the justification of assuming thermalized non-equilibrium carriers is discussed for different transitions. The observed activation energy is correlated with the energy scale in the QW. At low temperatures the temperature dependence is weak, carrier escape is explained by tunnelling. At the highest temperatures the quantum efficiency decreases again, this is attributed to the growing influence of recombination.","PeriodicalId":276773,"journal":{"name":"Material Science and Material Properties for Infrared Optics","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117294020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
