Abstract:
It is shown experimentally that a rather high negative magnetoresistance in silicon is observed not only in compensated $p$-Si$\langle$B, Mn$\rangle$, but also in overcompensated $n$-Si$\langle$B, Mn$\rangle$ with a Fermi level of $F=E_C$ – 0.35eV $\div$$E_C$ – 0.55 eV. The magnitude and the temperature range of the negative magnetoresistance in materials of this kind are determined by the position of the Fermi level.
