Abstract

The temperature dependence of the Hall voltage and resistivity of highly carbon doped GaN were measured. From the sign of the Hall voltage, the material appears to be p-type. Charge transport takes place in an impurity band and the valence band. The effective activation energy as estimated from the maximum in the temperature versus Hall voltage relation is 10–30 meV.
