Free-Carrier Voigt Effect in Semiconductors

Abstract
Measurements of the Voigt and the Faraday effects have been made on samples of n-type InAs and InSb. The Voigt and Faraday data are used together to obtain values of both the effective mass and concentration of free carriers which are consistent with values given by other methods. An experimental technique for measurement of small phase shifts in the Voigt effect is described.
