Abstract

The electronic and optical properties of amorphous silicon-germanium alloys produced by d.c. and r.f. glow discharge are reported. Data on the sub-gap absorption, dark and photo conductivities, drift mobilities and drift mobility-lifetime products are used to propose a density of states model.
