Thermodynamics of metal-insulator systemsKasl, Charles. January 1996 (has links)
A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of
the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the
requirements for the degree of Master of Science. / The properties-of systems which undergo a metal-insulator
(MI) transition are currently being extensively studied. Both the
transport and thermodynamic properties of these MI systems
show interesting behaviour, particularly near the MI transition.
A complete theory to describe MI systems does not yet exist.
In the present work the focus is on the thermodynamic
properties of MI systems, in particular on the specific heat and
susceptibility. The thermodynamic properties in the absence of
a magnetic field are now well understood, with models such as
the two-fluid model giving a good account of the behaviour.
In finite magnetic fields the thermodynamic properties are
even more interesting and varied. It is the aim of the present
work to develop and test models to explain the effects of
applying magnetic fields to MI systems. The focus is mainly on
phosphorous doped silicon, and the results are gratifying. The
theory should, however, also apply to other similar MI systems. / Andrew Chakane 2018

Metal-insulator transition in boron-ion implanted type IIa diamond.Tshepe, Tshakane January 2000 (has links)
A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg,
in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. / High purity natural type Il a diamond specimens were used in this study. Conducting
layers in the surfaces of these diamonds were generated using low-ion dose multiple
implantation-annealing steps. The implantation energies and the ion-doses were spread
evenly to intermix the point-defects, thereby increasing the probability of interstitialvacancy
recombinations and promoting dopant-interstitial-vacancy combination resulting
in activated dopant sites in the implanted layers. The process used to prepare our samples
is known as cold-implantation-rapid-annealing (CIRA). Carbon-ion and boron-ion
implantation was used to prepare the diamond specimens, and de-conductivity measurements
in the temperature range of 1.5-300 K were made following each CIRA sequence.
An electrical conductivity crossover from the Mott variable range hopping (VRH)
to the Efros-Shklovskii VRH conduction was observed when the temperature of insulating
samples was lowered. The conductivity crossover temperature Tcross decreases with
increasing concentration of the boron-ion dose in the implanted layers, indicating the narrowing
of the Coulomb gap in the single-particle density of states near the Fermi energy. (Abbreviation abstract) / Andrew Chakane 2019
