Abstract

On the basis of the Ritz variational method, the ionization energies for the ground states of Sb, P, and As donors in n-Ge single crystals are calculated in the framework of the Δ1-model for the conduction band and taking the dispersion law anisotropy and the chemical shift into account. A comparison of theoretical results with corresponding experimental data shows that the model of impurity’s Coulomb potential can be used as a rough approximation only for Sb
impurities in Ge, making no allowance for the chemical shift. For the P and As impurities, when the potential field of an impurity ion is not Coulombic, the calculations have to be carried out with regard for a chemical shift.
