A crucial element in MTR is the profile of the localized state density as a function of eneigy, the so-called density of states (DOS). Unfortunately, a direct derivation of the DOS from the variation of the mobility is not straightforward. In two papers published in 1972 and 1976 [116, 117], Spear and Le Comber developed a method based on a simplified description of the accumulation layer, which was assumed to behave like a depletion (Schottky) layer, with a constant density of carrier up to a given thickness L This method has been more recently analyzed by Powell [118], who concluded that is was only able to give a rough estimate of the DOS. Nevertheless, we have used this method to estimate the DOS in 6T and DH6T [115] and found an exponential distribution of the form...

In the early 1970s, Spear and coworkers (Spear, 1974 Le Comber et al., 1974), although unaware of the presence of hydrogen, demonstrated a substantial reduction in the density of gap states (with a corresponding improvement in the electronic transport properties) in amorphous silicon films that were deposited from the decomposition of silane (SiH4) in an rf glow discharge.

The kidneys are not the only channel through which excess salts are eliminated from the blood. Motais et al. (1965) reported that, when flounders, which are euryhaline, were transferred from sea water to fresh water, there was an immediate reduction in the elimination of sodium and chloride by a mechanism located in the gills. The painted comber, a species which dies if the...
