Variable-range hopping in evaporated annealed films of the amorphous chalcogenides GeTe and SnTe

A letter. Previous observations showed that whereas amorphous GeTe annealed to higher resistivities, SnTe films underwent a decrease in resistivity during annealing. The data is analysed further to show that after annealing the resistivity varies inversely as T exp 4 (Mott Law). behaviour is explain...

Zusammenfassung:A letter. Previous observations showed that whereas amorphous GeTe annealed to higher resistivities, SnTe films underwent a decrease in resistivity during annealing. The data is analysed further to show that after annealing the resistivity varies inversely as T exp 4 (Mott Law). behaviour is explained in terms of a range of activation energies for the conduction mechanism (variable-range hopping). 10 ref.--M.G.S.
