Abstract
Optical absorption measurements on semiconducting Ni are analyzed to determine the energy gap and its temperature dependence. Electrical conductivity measurements made over a large temperature range exhibit three distinct regions of conduction, each with a different activation energy. The combination of electrical and optical measurements are interpreted in terms of a model in which partial carrier compensation pins the Fermi energy in the acceptor band.
