Abstract
We examine the effect of ambients on the electrical properties of a number of PbSe epitaxial films. These properties are compared with the calculations based on existing theoretical models. We conclude that the existing surface-mobility calculations for degenerate semiconductors are inadequate. The most important result is that the scattering of carriers at the surface appears to be completely specular in character.Keywords
