Temperature dependence of electron concentration in cadmium arsenide

From measurements of the temperature dependence of the electron concentration in Cd 3 As 2 , we found values for the conduction-band parameters that are in good agreement with those recently reported by Aubin, Caron, and Jay-Gerin. However, in contrast with these authors we found no small overlap, but a relatively large gap of 26 meV between the heavy-hole band maximum and the conduction-band minimum.
