Doping Eects of Ga And Te On The Kinetic Coecients of Rhombohedral And Cubic Phases Of Ge1−x Gax Te Solid Solution Alloys

In this study Ga and Te doping eects on the kinetic parameters (thermo e.m.f., electrical conductivity, heat conductivity, Hall and Nernst-Ettingshausen coe-cients) of the rhombohedral and cubic phases of Ge1−x Gax Te (0<x0,06) solid solutions has been investigated between 77-900 K temperature intervals. Increase in the amount of Te increases hole concentration and reduces lattice constant, whereas rhombohedral propeties of GeTe rises with increase of Ga concentration. The observed anomalies on the kinetic parameters may be explained qualitatively by the complexity of the Fermi surface shape and the zone model of GeTe which involves the seperation of the L extremums that is same for \", \ " and \γ " phases of the compound
