INVESTIGATION OF EFFECT OF MOTION OF DISLOCATIONS ON ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY OF ZnSe.

The influence of the motion of dislocations on the electrical conductivity of ZnSe was investigated over a wide range of plastic deformation rates. The electrical conductivity of the crystal was found to decrease at low velocities of dislocation motion. The velocity and temperature characteristics of the effect in the range of dislocation velocities studied are described by a model which is given in the paper and which takes account of the redistribution of electrons in the electron subsystem of the crystal during the motion of dislocations.
