Abstract: | We report a calculation of the electronic specific heat near 0 K for the Si:P system, taking into account the characteristic valley-splitting of the impurity levels near the conduction band minima. This effect is shown to describe properly the deviations from the free-electron model around the metal-to-nonmetal transition. This is a strong argument towards the picture of an Anderson-type (disorder-dominated) transition in indirect gap semiconductors. Our results account very well for the experimental findings. |
