Abstract: | Electrical resistivity, thermoelectric power and current noise were measured on Li-doped MnO single crystals in the temperature range from 300 to 1000 K. Below 700 K the crystals are p-type and the activation energy of the resistivity is 0.75 eV. Around 700 K the activation energy changes from 0.75 to 1.25 eV owing to a change from p- to n-type conduction. The depth of the Li acceptor is found to be 0.65 eV. From resistivity and thermoelectric power data it is concluded that the bandgap in first approximation can be written as Es(T) = Eo ? γT between 750 and 1000 K, with Eo = 1.9 eV and γ = 6 × 10?4 eV/K. The current noise spectra show noise. The magnitude of the noise is strongly temperature dependent. From the noise data it is deduced that Eo = 2.2 eV and γ = 10?3 eV/K in the temperature range 430–700 K. |
