A theoretical study of the semiinsulating behaviour of Fe in InP

  • 1. Indian Inst. of Tech., Kanpur. Dept. of Physics

Description

The transition metal impurities introduce levels deep in the band gap of the host semiconductor. For neutral Fe in InP the impurity level is exactly in the mid gap and this provides a clue to its semiinsulating behaviour. A detailed MS X/sub α/ SCF calculation of the different charge states of Fe in InP is presented. The agreement with the experimental results is satisfactory and shows the promise of the method for the analysis of impurities in semiconductors. The Moessbauer isomer shift for the different charge states of Fe in InP are also calculated. (author)
