Abstract: | The concentrational dependences of the Hall coefficient and of the resistivity were used to investigate the interaction of
diffusively introduced copper impurity with an ensemble of intrinsic defects inn-CdSnAs
2. The initial electron density and the concentrations of theV
As
andCu
As
defects were found to be of the same order. A study was made of the dependence of the electrophysical properties ofCdSnAs
2
(Cu) on the population of the impurity band and it was shown that the features of the kinetic characteristics ofCdSnAs
2
(Cu) are determined by the absence of an energy gap between the bands with a conductivity of opposite sign and by the fact that
one of the bands is an impurity band.
