Title Character of submillimeter photoconductivity in n-lnSb Type Journal Article
Year 1979 Publication Sov. Phys. JETP Abbreviated Journal (up) Sov. Phys. JETP
Volume 49 Issue 1 Pages 121-128
Keywords
Abstract A comprehensive investigation was made of the submillimeter photoconductivity of n -1nSb in the range of wavelengths L = 0.6-8 mm, magnetic fields H = 0-30 kOe, electric fields E = 0.01-0.5 V/cm, and temperatures T = 1.3-30 K. The kinetics of the photoconductivity processes as a function of T, E; and H is investigated. It is shown that impurity photoconductivity does exist for any degree of compensation of extremely purified n-InSb. Particular attention is paid to the hopping photoconductivity realized in strongly compensated n-1nSb (K > 0.8).

Title The excitonic Zeeman effect in uniaxially-strained germanium Type Journal Article
Year 1987 Publication Sov. Phys. JETP Abbreviated Journal (up) Sov. Phys. JETP
Volume 65 Issue 6 Pages 1233-1241
Keywords Ge, Zeeman effect
Abstract We have carried out a high-resolution spectroscopic study of the absorption of submillimeter radiation by free excitons in germanium compressed along the [ 1 11 ] axis in a magnetic field parallel to the compression axis. In particular, we studied the splitting of the 1s- 2p transition in fields up to 6 kOe at T = 1.6 K, and observed a complex pattern in the Zeeman splitting which we believe is related to the effect of thermal motion of the excitons in a magnetic field on their internal structure (the magneto-Stark effect). The calculated submillimeter spectrum of excitons agrees with the experimental data. We predict that in a magnetic field the energy of the 2p, term is a minimum at a finite value of the exciton momentum perpendicular to the field-that is, the energy minimum forms a ring in momentum space. It follows that the density of states for this term must be a nonmonotonic function of the energy. A theory is developed of analogous phenomena in positronium.

Title Effect of electron-electron collisions on the trapping of free carriers by shallow impurity centers in germanium Type Journal Article
Year 1986 Publication Sov. Phys. JETP Abbreviated Journal (up) Sov. Phys. JETP
Volume 64 Issue 4 Pages 889-897
Keywords Ge, trapping of free carriers
Abstract Cascade Auger recombination of free carriers on shallow impurities in Ge is investigated under quasi-equilibrium conditions (T= 2-12 K) and in impurity breakdown. The Auger capture cross sections are found to be a,= 5. 10-l9 T-'n cm2 for donors and uip= 7- T-5p cm2 for acceptors. It is shown that in an isotropic semiconductor (p-Ge) ui is well described by the cascade-capture theory that takes into account only electron-electron collisions. In an anisotropic semiconductor ui is considerably larger (n-Ge, strongly uniaxially compressedp-Ge). Under impurity breakdown conditions the electron-electron collisions determine the lifetimes of the free carriers only in samples with appreciable density of the compensating impurity (Nk loi3 cmP3).

Title Population and lifetime of excited states of shallow impurities in Ge Type Journal Article
Year 1979 Publication Sov. Phys. JETP Abbreviated Journal (up) Sov. Phys. JETP
Volume 49 Issue 2 Pages 355-362
Keywords Ge, photothermal ionization, shallow impurities
Abstract An investigation was made of the dependences of the intensities of photothermal ionization lines of excited states of shallow impurities in Ge on the intensity of impurity-absorbed background radiation and on temperature. The results obtained were used to find the density and lifetime of carriers of lower excited states of the impurity centers. The lifetimes of the excited states of donors in Ge were 10-~-10-" sec and the lifetime of the lower excited state of acceptors was -lo-' sec. In the presence of background radiation the population of the excited states was very different from the equilibrium value and, in particular, a population inversion of the 2pk, state relative to the 3p0 and 3s states was observed.

Title Capture of photoexcited carriers by shallow impurity centers in germanium Type Journal Article
Year 1979 Publication Sov. Phys. JETP Abbreviated Journal (up) Sov. Phys. JETP
Volume 50 Issue 4 Pages 728-734
Keywords Ge, photoexcited carriers, shallow impurity centers
Abstract Measurements were made of the lifetimes rf of free carriers and the relaxation time 7, of the submillimeter impurity photoconductivity when carriers are captured by attracting shallow donors and acceptom in Ge. It is nod that in samples with capture-center concentration N,Z 10"cm-' the relaxation time 7, greatly exceeds rf in the temperature range 4.2-12 K. The measured values of 7,- are compared with the calculation of cascade recombination by the classical model. To evaluate the data on T,, the distinguishing features of this model are considered for the nonstationary case. The substantial difference betweea the values of rf and T, is attributed to re-emission of the carriers from the excited states of the shallow impurities.
