Abstract
Acceptor or donor impurities in the concentration range / have a marked influence on the deformation behavior of germanium. Gallium raises the upper yield stress , while arsenic lowers it, in comparison with the value for undoped germanium. The behavior of is a direct consequence of the variation of dislocation velocity with doping. Direct measurements of dislocation velocity show that doping with arsenic raises dislocation velocity, while gallium lowers it, compared with the velocities for intrinsic germanium. The change in velocity or is not observed until the impurity concentration is comparable to the intrinsic carrier concentration at the test temperature. Neutral impurities in the range of / do not influence either or dislocation velocity. The net change in the or velocity parameters over the intrinsic values increases with decreasing temperature of test. From the dependence of dislocation velocity and maximum stress on impurity concentration, it appears that these parameters which control the deformation behavior are directly related to the electronic properties of germanium.
