  • Abstract
    A dielectric formalism is used to calculate the electrical conductivity of disordered InSb as a representative case. The electrical conductivity of InSb containing dislocations is plotted as a function of temperature and compared with experimental results for pure crystalline InSb. It is shown that dislocations are a stronger source of electrons than impurities; a dislocation provides T2 exp (-0.6/kT) more electrons than the normal charge transport expected in a perfect material
