Abstract

AbstractThe galvanomagnetic effects in the n-Pb1-xGexTe:Cr (x=0.02-0.13) alloys at the temperatures 4.2≤T≤300 K and under hydrostatic compression up to 17 kbar have been investigated. The metal-insulator transition under the increase of germanium content in the alloys and insulator-metal transition, induced by pressure in Pb1-xGexTe:Cr (x=0.10) alloy, were revealed. Using the experimental data in the frame of two-band Kane dispersion relation the dependences of the free electron concentration and the Fermi level position on the matrix composition and on the pressure were calculated. The composition and pressure coefficients of chromium deep level movement were obtained and the models of the electronic structure reconstruction under varying the alloy composition and under pressure were proposed.
