摘要: Thin films of GaAs1−xNx were grown on insulating GaAs substrates and subjected to temperature-dependent resistivity, Hall, Seebeck, Nernst coefficient measurements. Density states, effective-mass values, which are calculated from the transport data, decrease 0.084me 0.029me as x increases 0 0.004.
