Hopping Conductance

ABSTRACTExtensive irradiations were carried on crystalline semiconductors InSb, GaAs and InAs. At low temperatures the frequency dependence of the conductivity is observed to be sublinear (σαωs). where s<1. The dependence of s on both the degree of the induced damage and on temperature is studied and discussed in terms of the quatum mechanical tunnelling and of correlated barrier hopping mechanisms.At fairly low doses of irradiation activated conductance is observed with s having a weak temperature dependence. As the degree of damage is further increased conduction at helium temperatures takes place by variable range hopping, σαexp(-b/T1/4). The constant b is observed to depend on the effective mass for different semiconductors.At higher temperatures activated conduction is observed again. The observed activation energies E are Eg 1/4 <E<Eg 1/2 and we believe they could represent hopping of single and double carriers.

We report the results of the resistivity measurement on La2-xSrxCuO4 nanoparticles with x = 0, 0.05, and 0.20 evaluated by the four-point probe method. The high resistivity value shows the predominance of the inter-grain part. The temperature dependence of the conductivity can be analyzed by variable range hopping model showing the charge carriers are formed by thermal activation. There is no superconducting behavior that could be observed in La2-xSrxCuO4 nanoparticles with x = 0.05 and 0.20.

Main Impurity

An investigation was made of a batch of samples of neutron transmutation-doped (NTD) Ge:Ga with the degree of compensation K=0.3 and the concentration of the main impurity (Ga) from N=3.6 · 1014cm−3 to Nc=2.5 · 1017cm−3, corresponding to the MI transition. The following were studied: the parameters of NTD Ge:Ga, the temperature dependence of hopping transport, the ɛ3 region of the nearest neighbor hopping (NNH), the saturation of NNH, variable range hopping (VRH) and the Coulomb gap.

AbstractWe present results for the electrical conductivity (σ) of thin films of poly(benzo[1,2-b:4,5- b']dithiophene-4,8-diyl vinylene) (PBDV) and poly (dodecylthiophene) (PDDT) as a function of temperature in the range 15-295K. The polymers were doped with FeC13 and PF6 which resulted in electrical conductivities differing by two orders of magnitude at room temperature. We examine three sets of σ(T)-data by using the variable-range hopping (VRH) model that predicts a linear relationship between ln(T1/2σ) and T1/4. We observe a change in the slope of the ln(T1/2σ) vs T14 relationship in all three samples at low temperatures. We also analyze the temperature dependence of the resistivity of PBDV by using the thermal fluctuation-induced tunneling model.
