Semiconductors Under Large Elastic Strain

Kennedy and Benedick [67K02, 68K03] were successful in carrying out difficult Hall effect measurements in germanium samples explosively loaded at the upper end of the elastic range. Nevertheless, the measurements did not provide sufficient information to develop a physical interpretation. 

To plan and fully analyze experimental studies of the effect of adiabatic elastic strain on the electrical conductivity of germanium, C.L. Julian (for-

As is customary, the conductivity is described by independent transport of electrons and holes such that
