Abstract

AbstractFormulae for the crystal deformation due to the introduction of charge carriers are obtained using the thermodynamic potential method. This phenomenon is caused by the direct electron‐lattice interaction. A change in the energy gap due to this effect is also estimated. for example the band gap in InSb is reduced by about 0.01 eV when 1019 electrons per cm3 are introduced into the crystal.
