Band Structure and Scattering Mechanisms in Lead Chalcogenides from Transport Phenomena
The non-parabolicity, temperature dependence of an effective mass and scattering mechanisms in PbTe, PbSe, PbS are considered. The methods of investigation of non-parabolicity based upon measurement of thermoelectric power in strong magnetic fields and Nernst-Ettingshausen coefficient (together with other kinetic coefficients) are discussed. The results given by these methods are shown and disc...
متن کاملFull-Potential Optical Calculations of Lead Chalcogenides
We report on ab initio calculations of the optical properties of the lead chalcogenides PbS, PbSe, and PbTe performed with a relativistic full-potential linear muffin-tin orbital method within the local density approximation. Our calculated spectra are in excellent agreement with recent ellipsometry measurements. The origin of the peaks in the spectra is discussed, as well as the effects of inc...

متن کاملEntropically stabilized local dipole formation in lead chalcogenides.
We report the observation of local structural dipoles that emerge from an undistorted ground state on warming, in contrast to conventional structural phase transitions in which distortions emerge on cooling. Using experimental and theoretical probes of the local structure, we demonstrate this behavior in binary lead chalcogenides, which were believed to adopt the ideal, undistorted rock-salt st...
متن کاملLaser Action and Photodetection in Lead-tin Chalcogenides
Due to the crossover of the L: and LC states which has been proposed to explain the variation of the energy gap with composition and with temperature in Pbl -xSnzTe and Pbl-zSnzSe, semiconductors with an arbitrarily small energy gap can be obtained by suitably choosing the composition of either alloy. Since crystals with excellent homogeneity and good quality can be produced by either Bridgmano...
