Abstract:During the past several years uniaxial stress has emerged a s a powerful tool in the determination of deformation potential parameters. This i s done with the aid of a suitable theory. One of the theories that i s often used is based on the work of Pikus and Bir (1) and Bir and Pikus (2). In the case of narrow gap semiconductors,
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.
