Abstract:
Emittance measurements as a function of temperature have been performed on germanium and silicon samples representing a wide range of resistivities. In general, emittance was found to increase with increasing temperature and increasing impurity level. The emittance of germanium p and n-types at 360 deg. K ranged from approximately 0.2 for a resistivity of 30 ohm-cm to approximately 0.6 for a resistivity of 0.1 ohm-cm. At 34 deg. K, the emittance decreased to approximately one half the above values. Silicon p and n-types had comparable values of emittance at 360 deg. K for resistivities of 200 ohm-cm and 0.001 ohm-cm, but at 30 deg. K the emittance values were reduced to approximately 0.03 and 0.1 respectively. The general relation between emittance, temperature, and impurity level has been explained in terms of charge carrier densities. Author
