I would like to find a reliable reference that includes electronic properties such as CB & VB DoS, electron & hole mobilities, thermal velocities of semiconductors like ZnTe, CdTe.
I am really beginner in this topic I would like to know that the type of Semiconductor (n- or p-) can affect these properties amounts?

I hope you find this helpful. Best regards
Alvena Shahid Thank you so much for your help. could you please let me know based on your experience being n-type and p-type can affect CB and VB DoS?
Tahereh Zargar yes In semiconductors, n-type and p-type dopants significantly influence electronic properties. N-type dopants increase electron concentration in the conduction band, enhancing electron mobility and conductivity. P-type dopants create holes in the valence band, increasing hole concentration and promoting better hole mobility. Combining both dopants can fine-tune overall reactivity, allowing oxygen molecules to adsorb and desorb on semiconductor surfaces during reactions. Electrostatic interactions between dopants and binding sites play a crucial role in this tuning process. Their interplay can lead to tailored semiconductor properties, impacting catalysis, conductivity, and other applications.
