| | Electron band mobility in Bismuth Silicon Oxyde (BSO, B12SiO20) |
 | | An electron in a polar crystal polarizes the lattice in its neighbourhood. |
 | | Therefore, we determine the electron mobility using the holographic time of flight (HTOF) method [9,11,12,13,14], in which two interfering laser beams excite a spatially sinusoidal pattern of charge carriers in the bulk of the sample. |
 | | The observed decrease of the mobility with rising temperature and the polar nature of the n-BSO lattice suggest that the band mobility is controlled by interaction with longitudinal optical (LO) phonons [4,5,6,7]. |
