ELECTRIC PROPERTIES OF BULK AMORPHOUS-SEMICONDUCTOR ZN41SB59

The electric conductivity of amorphous Zn41Sb59 was shown to be of a n early activation type with E(sigma) approximate to 0.28 eV at 125 less than or equal to T less than or equal to 360 K. It displayed no frequ ency dependence at 220 less than or equal to T less than or equal to 3 00 K and f less than or equal to 5 MHz. The thermoelectric power, S, w as positive and increased nearly linearly with reciprocal temperature at 186 less than or equal to T less than or equal to 364 K; E(S) appro ximate to 0.19 eV. The Hall coefficient measured at 300 K was negative .
