Description
Summary:A theoretical study on semiconductor rare earth chalcogenides Sm1 – xEuxS and Sm1 – x YbxS has been made for deducing electrical transport properties using only two parameters, namely lattice constant and activation energy. The calculated electrical properties electrical resistivity, carrier mobility, carrier concentration, carrier effective mass and dielectric constant are compared with the available experimental results. They are found to be in good agreement with each other. Then, the limitation of this theoretical study has also been discussed in this paper.
