Electronic dielectric constant of amorphous semiconductors
Abstract
We calculate the electronic dielectric constants for amorphous semiconductors from their short-range structural data. The agreement with measured values supports the contention in Phillips' spectroscopic theory of bonding that it is the chemical bond which is of primary importance in determining the electronic dielectric constants. © 1970 The American Physical Society.
