摘要
Electrical resistance measurements at temperatures ranging from 4.2 to 300 K and pressures ranging from 0 to 3.6 GPa indicate that pressurization reduces the energy gap E-g with a pressure coefficient, dE(g)/dP, of -8.8(4) meV/GPa. The deformation potential of E-g is estimated to be 0.50(2) eV, which is smaller than that of tetrahedrally bonded semiconductors, such as Si (1.46 eV). The reduction of E-g by pressurization is qualitatively consistent with the results of a previously reported calculation [Imai Y, Watanabe A. Intermetallics 2006;14:666]. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
