Abstract

Relaxation semiconductors are materials dominated by free carrier transport and defined by the condition that the dielectric relaxation time τD is longer than the free carrier lifetime τ0. Novel transport behavior has been demonstrated, both theoretically and experimentally, to be associated with this regime of semiconductor behavior. This review surveys the history of the field, emphasizes recent experimental and modeling work and summarizes our current understanding of relaxation behavior in crystalline semiconductors.
