Abstract

In this paper the galvanomagnetic properties (4.2≤T≤300 K) of Pb1-xGexTe(x≤0.038) doped with Yb were investigated both under atmospheric pressure and under hydrostatic compression up to 12 kbar. The variation of the energy diagram of Pb1-xGexTe<Yb> under variation of Ge concentration and under pressure were proposed. It was shown that change of the energy spectrum under pressure leads to the insulator-metal transition due to redistribution of electrons between the valence band and the deep Yb level. By comparing theoretical and experimental dependences of hole concentration on pressure the parameters of the Yb-induced deep level were determined.
