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.

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.

In this paper, we investigate the temperature dependence of the transverse conductivity in Y 1-z Pr z Ba 2 Cu 3 O 7-δ single crystals with different praseodymium concentrations. It is determined that the increase of the praseodymium concentration in Y 1-z Pr z Ba 2 Cu 3 O 7-δ leads to the enhancement of localization effects. This in turn results to the transition from the pseudo-gap regime to the variable-range-hopping regime.

The temperature dependence of thermo-electric power (TEP) of Bi 2 Sr 2 Ca 1-x Ce x Cu 2 O y samples with x upto 0.4 are reported in the temperature range 40–300 K. The normal state TEP data of the superconducting samples are discussed in view of some of the existing theoretical models in the literature, viz. two-band models, Nagaosa and Lee model and a phenomenological narrow band model. The transport in the semiconducting sample is found to be by variable-range-hopping mechanism.

ABSTRACTHeat treatment of polyacrylonitrile leads to products with semiconductor to metal like conductivities. The electrical properties of these materials are further modified by ion implantation. It is noted that the conductivity (∼10-7 (Ω cm)-1) of heat treated Polyacrylonitrile at 435°C (PAN435) increases upon ion implantation with As+, Kr+, Cl+ of F+ reaching a maximum value of 8.9 × 10-1 (Ω cm)-1 at as does of 5 × 1016 ion/cm2 and an energy of 200 KeV for the case of F+ implantation. On the other hand, ion implantation of the more conducting heat treated PAN at 750°C (PAN750) leads to a decrease in the electrical conductivity of the material. It is proposed that the conductivity modifications are primarily due to structural rearrangements induced by the energetic ions. Specific chemical doping contribution to conductivity is noted for halogen implantation in PAN435. The temperature dependence of conductivity of PAN heat treated at 750°C suggests a two path conduction, namely, a three dimensional variable range hopping conduction and a metallic conduction. After ion implantation, the conductivity-temperature dependence is interpreted in terms of a variable range hopping conduction mechanism.

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.

The introduction of GaAs grown at low MBE growth temperatures has spurred considerable activity in attempts to understand conduction mechanisms and optical properties. In LT GaAs, the formation of microscopic As precipitates dominates the conductivity, producing electronic transport mainly by variable range hopping conduction. The resulting high resistivity and short carrier lifetimes have enabled the use of LT GaAs in FET buffer layers as well as in ultra-fast optical switches. An extension to AlInAs has also been performed and it was seen that variable range hopping is also present in the Asbased ternary.We report the optical and electronic properties of InP grown at low temperatures in a gas source MBE using dimeric phosphorus produced from cracked phosphine. The conductivity is higher than the equivalent GaAs LT material and does not have the same temperature dependence. The conditions under which growth occurs ie, substrate temperatures, V/ill ratios and annealing is explored. The structural properties, temperature dependence of the conductivity, deep level structure and the photoluminescence properties of the material are also investigated.
