The energy gap and its temperature coefficient are calculated depending on the concentration of defects in silver telluride with a Te and Ag excess. On the basis of the obtained data, the correlation between the charge carrier energy spectrum and the silver telluride defectness is analyzed. It is established that the correlation is a reflection of more general fundamental relations between the energy structure and the defect concentration in Ag 2 Te caused by ions and vacancies of silver atoms in the sublattice.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
