At high frequencies Y(/spl omega/) varies linearly as /spl omega/ showing that conduction occurs via hopping. The temperature dependence of Y(0) indicates that this hopping conduction occurs in a partially filled band related to EL2 defects, the direct relationship between /spl omega//sub m/ and Y(0) demonstrates the existence of a percolation regime, i.e. of a conduction limited by insulating regions which we attribute to space charge regions developed around as precipitates.","PeriodicalId":391894,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Semiconducting and Semi-Insulating Materials Conference","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127682128","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}
