  • First Online:
Festkörperprobleme 15

Part of the book series: Advances in Solid State Physics ((ASSP,volume 15))

Abstract

After a quick sketch of activities in the area of dc conductivity studies on semiconductor surface space charge layers, the paper presents a comprehensive summary of the high frequency, dynamical studies. We discuss in succession microwave frequency measurements of the parallel conductivity, the far-infrared resonance spectroscopy between electric subbands of the space charge layer and cyclotron resonance. In a concluding section we present some results on photoconductivity experiments and a discussion of some other possible resonance effects.
