Abstract

The analysis of experimental data on the pressure and temperature dependences of conductivity, the current-voltage characteristics (IVC), and the pressure dependence of the activation energy in n-Si and n-Ge crystals in the region of strain-induced metal-insulator transition (MIT) is presented. A remarkable change of the effective mass of carriers in semiconductors caused by strain-induced transformation of the energy band structure is the main necessary condition for realization of this kind of metal-nonmetal transition.
