Competition between band and hopping carrier transport in Ge : Mn thin films

详细

Regularities of hole transport and its correlation with percolation magnetism caused by localized carriers simultaneously involved in the formation of the magnetic and electrical properties of Ge: Mn thin films are investigated. It is established that at temperatures of T > 22 K the activationless band carrier transport occurs in the Ge: Mn samples (2 at % Mn). At low temperatures, the hopping mechanism with a variable hopping length works.
