Thermal conductivity of n-type Ge monocrystals

Abstract

The pyroelectric method is used to demonstrate the dependence of the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity coefficients of n-type germanium monocrystals on the concentration of antimony impurities (6 × 10¹³, 1.3 × 10¹⁴, 1.7 × 10¹⁴, 3.7 × 10¹⁴, 6 × 10¹⁴ cm⁻³). The investigated samples are cut from germanium crystals grown from a melt using the Czochralski method with crystallographic orientation [111].
