Description

In physics of narrow-gap semiconductors, much attention is paid to A4B6 semiconductors, because they can be used to prepare a broad class of microconverters of physical quantities into electric signals. The multiellipsoidal band structure makes it possible to design piezoelectric converters based on these materials. The technique of measuring the strain gauge factor K of a microwire (MW) is presented. (author)
