Low temperature synthesis of binary chalcogenides

TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis of tellurides and selenides of Hg, Cd, Zn, Ge, Sn and Pb at temperatures considerably below the melting point of the compounds was studied.

HgSe, a highly electronegative stable metallic contact for semiconductor devices

TL;DR: Schottky barriers formed by the highly electronegative substance HgSe on n-ZnS and on n−ZnSe have been characterized by capacitancevoltage and photoresponse measurements.

Effect of pressure and anionic substitution on the electrical properties of HgTeS crystals

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the Hall constant R and resistivity ρ for the HgTe1−xSx (0.04≤x≤0.6) crystals in the temperature range 4.2-350 K in the magnetic fields B up to 14 T. The authors showed that the transition to the wide-gap semiconductor phase is observed at P>1-1.5 GPa.

Chalcogens and Metal Chalcogenides

TL;DR: It is common that the three heaviest elements of the sulfur sub-group, namely selenium, tellurium, and polonium, be collectively referred to as the "chalcogens".

Electrical Characterization of Pressure Induced Phase Transitions in Mercury Chalcogenides

TL;DR: In this paper, a polynucleation model was developed and the critical sizes of the nuclei are suggested to be related to the "region of indifference" defined by Bridgman.

Band structure of indium antimonide

TL;DR: The band structure of InSb is calculated using the k ·. p perturbation approach and assuming that the conduction and valence band extrema are at k = 0 as mentioned in this paper.

Electron scattering in InSb

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of electron scattering by acoustical and optical phonons as well as electron-hole scattering on the mobility and thermoelectric power of intrinsic InSb were investigated.

Band structure of gray tin

TL;DR: In this article, a new model for the band structure of n-Sn is proposed which is compatible with the experimental results reported on this material and particularly with the measurements of magnetoresistance and the pressure dependence of the conductivity (o) and Hall coefficient (R) which have been in relatively poor agreement with models previously suggested.
