The peculiaritıes of electrical conductivity in AgSbSe2 and (AgSbSe2)0,85(PbTe)0,15		  pdf 

ABSTRACT

Temperature dependence of electrical conductivity in AgSbSe2 and (AgSbSe2)0,85(PbTe)0,15 solid solution was investigated in the temperature range 80-350K. It is determined that the electrical conductivity of (AgSbSe2)0,85(PbTe)0,15 solid solution to have a hopping mechanism in the temperature range 127-233K. In both compositions, the activation energy of the charge carriers was calculated in different temperature ranges.

Keywords: hopping conductivity, activation energy, AgSbSe2
