Abstract

Optical and electrical properties of GaSe:$Er^{3+}$ single crystals grown by the Bridgeman technique was been investigated by using optical absorption and Hall-effect measurements. The Hall coefficients were measured by using a high impedance electrometer in the temperature range from 360K to 150K. The temperature dependence of hole concentration shows the characteristic of a partially compensated p-type semiconductor. carrier density($N_H$) of GaSe doped with Erbium was measured about $3.25{\times}10^{16}\;[cm^{-3}}$ at temperature 300K, which was high than undoped specimen. Photon energy gap ($E_{gd}$) was measured about 1.7geV.
