Abstract
Measurements have been made of the changes in the complex permittivity of 10 ohm-cm n-type germanium subjected to d.e. electric fields up to 3 kv/cm. The measuring frequency was 9.392G c/s and the amplitude of the applied electric field was very much greater than the microwave field. For the condition of parallel microwave and d.c. electric fields the results show that the conductivity is controlled by the differential mobility (dv/de) and that the free carrier contribution to the dielectric constant is positive for applied fields above 500 v/cm.
