Popis: The time-dependent conductivity of nominally undoped and rare-earth-doped (N R≃10−5 to 10−1 at % Gd, Dy, or Ho) high-resistivity gallium selenide crystals has been measured under various conditions. At a relatively low applied voltage and T ≤ 150 K, the conductivity of the crystals reaches a steady-state value rather slowly. When a voltage above a certain threshold is applied for a long time at T ≤ 300 K, the material exhibits electric fatigue. An energy-band model is proposed which provides qualitative explanation of the results.
