Abstract
The dynamic mobility spectra of suspensions of semiconducting tin(IV) oxide particles doped with antimony have been measured with the technique of electroacoustics. The magnitude of the complex mobility decreases essentially monotonically with increasing frequency, just as for a nonconducting (dielectric) particle under the same conditions. Unlike the case for a dielectric particle, however, the magnitudes at low frequency increase with increasing conductivity. The phase angle behavior is also different from that of a normal dielectric particle. The change in the phase angle behavior is most obvious at low suspension conductivity and high frequency where the phase angles showed a much smaller phase lag than at high conductivities. Reasonable agreement was found between the experimental mobility and the theoretical dynamic mobility spectra obtained with O'Brien's theory for the enhanced permittivity of semiconductors.
