Oscillatory nature of the relaxation to equilibrium in the system of intrinsic defects of nonstoichiometric lead and tin tellurides
Zayachuk D. M.
Experiments demonstrate that there are semiconductor crystals in which the relaxation of the intrinsic defects to an equilibrium distribution at a fixed temperature is of the nature of an oscillatory process in a nonlinear system with a pronounced friction. Tellurides of lead and tin were studied as particular examples.
