A STUDY OF THE ANOMALOUS HALL EFFECT IN THE CHALCOGENIDE SEMICONDUCTOR GLASS SYSTEMS.

Abstract

A study of one of the groups of amorphous semiconductors, the chalcogenide glasses, was made. From a review of existing literature, the physicochemical, electrical, thermal and optical properties of several of the typical glasses are presented quantitatively and discussed qualitatively. Several of the unusual features of the theorized band structure in these disordered systems are discussed. Several explanations of the Hall effect-Seebeck effect anomalies are reviewed. These include postulates on ambipolar and impurity-type conduction, as well as those on second phases and potential barriers. Several recommendations for further studies are given.
