On the stress-induced electrical properties of point defects in the sphalerite structure. II. The piezoresistance effect

It is shown that point defects in a crystal of the sphalerite structure can give rise to spatial variations in the tensor conductivity around them due to the piezoresistance effect. The expressions for these conductivity variations are derived for a general crystal of the sphalerite structure and ar...

Description
Summary:It is shown that point defects in a crystal of the sphalerite structure can give rise to spatial variations in the tensor conductivity around them due to the piezoresistance effect. The expressions for these conductivity variations are derived for a general crystal of the sphalerite structure and are then applied to the particular case of n-type GaSb.
