Abstract

Infrared Faraday-rotation of n-type silicon at room temperature was measured by a double-beam technique for four doping levels. Free-carrier concentration was determined by means of Hall-effect measurements. For several reasons, a Hall-factor r = 1 was assumed. Differences in effective masses, obtained for different crystals, cannot fully be explained by measurement errors. The impurity concentration gradient along the radius of the crystal must be invoked.
