ABSTRACT

The galvanomagnetic effects of the ternary semiconductor compound CuInTe2 are reported as a function of temperature and magnetic field at low temperatures down 17 K and up to 16 kG. An extrinsic behavior is observed and evidence of a pronounced impurity band is put forward. The Hall mobility is theoretically analyzed using the more predominant scattering processes, however, an additional scattering process is believed to be present at low temperatures due to thermal activated hopping with an activation energy of 19.3 meV.
