INTRINSIC CARRIER CONCENTRATION AND ELECTRON EFFECTIVE-MASS IN HG1-XZNXTE

The intrinsic carrier concentrations, Fermi energies, and the electron effective masses are calculated for Hg1-xZnxTe with 0<x less than or equal to 0.4 and 50 K less than or equal to T less than or equal to 40 0 K. The numerical calculations are based on the Kane k . p model and no further analytical simplification or approximation is made for the energy band structure beyond those inherent in the Kane model. The res ults are compared to the previous calculations. (C) 1997 American Inst itute of Physics.
