Search for anisotropic electrical properties in amorphous germanium.

Measurement of low-field and high-field resistivity in amorphous Ge in both the planar and transverse directions on the same samples, whose thickness ranged from 0.4 to 4 microns. No anisotropy was found, suggesting that the voids recently described by Galeener (1971) may not play a significant role in these transport processes.

Residual conductivity in unannealed amorphous germanium.

An enhanced residual conductivity which persists long after cessation of illumination has been observed in amorphous germanium at 77 K. The effect may be thermally quenched by heating to 120 K, returning the sample to its initial condition.
