Abstract
The properties of recombination centers introduced by reactor fast neutrons in n‐type germanium were investigated. From carrier lifetime temperature measurements, using Shockley‐Read statistics, recombination‐level position has been calculated and found to be dependent on resistivity of germanium. It has been observed for the first time that in the region of low temperature, lifetime increases with decreasing temperature.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
