Theory of electron transport in negative- U systems†

Pages 333-338 | Published online: 06 Jul 2010
 

Abstract

A consistent theory of transport phenomena in non-crystalline semi-conductors is presented, which is related to negative-U centres associated with soft atomic configurations. An analysis of the energy dependence of transition probabilities for capture and recombination is given. A new recombination channel associated with the singly-occupied negative-U centres is described. Manifestations of both con-linuum propenies and effeciive discrete energy-level features of the mobiliiy-gap spectrum in glassy semiconductors are considered.
