REORDERING PROCESSES IN NEUTRON IRRADIATED P-TYPE GERMANIUM

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4813834· OSTI ID:4813834
The kinetics of reordering processes in pulse neutron irradiated p-type germanium were investigated. At 73 deg K, the conductivity and mobility were stable following the irradiation pulse. At 150 deg K, parts of two processes were observed: release of trapped minority carriers and increased in hole concentration. The results were consistent with an unstable donor defect which is doubly charged positive. Near 300 deg K, a third process was observed which decreased the hole concentration. (M.C.G.)
