Rezumat

The Hall effect in the anisotropic II-V group semiconductor p-CdSb is investigated at temperatures between T = 3.6 and 200 K and pulsed magnetic fields up to B = 25 T in unintentionally doped samples oriented along the crystallographic axes [100] and [010]. The Hall coefficient, R(B, T) with B ∥[001] exhibits in low fields a flat region followed by a descending interval when B is increased. This behaviour is attributed to the presence of two groups of holes with concentrations p2(T) > p1(T) and mobilities μ2(T) < μ1(T), respectively. The analysis of p1 (T) and p2(T) demonstrates that below Tcr ∼ 20 K and down to ∼6-7 K the low-mobility carriers p2 are itinerant holes in a deeper acceptor band A2 with an energy E2≈6 meV. The high-mobility carriers p1 are at all temperatures T < Tcr holes activated thermally from A 2 to itinerant states of a shallower acceptor band A1 with an energy E1 ≈ 3 meV. At T > Tcrp1 and p2 are related to the holes activated to the light- and heavy-hole bands, respectively. The analysis of μ1 (T) and μ2(T) confirms the existence of the heavy-hole band or a non-equivalent maximum and two equivalent maxima of the light-hole valence band.
