Electron mobility and infra-red absorption in reduced tin oxide crystals

Abstract
We have prepared tin oxide crystals with greater purity than our previous samples, and have introduced electron densities between 1017 and 1018 cm−3, by reduction in vacuum. The electron Hall mobility has been measured and is between 200 and 250 cm2 v−1 s−1 at room temperature. The highest value we have observed at 77°K is 700 cm2 v−1 s−1. The infra-red absorption indicates that the scattering at 300°K is due to optical modes, and that the electron effective mass is 017m0.
