Abstract
A formula for carrier concentration, and a relationship between mobility and diffusivity, have been presented for degenerate semiconductors with a nonparabolic energy band structure under the influence of a magnetic field. The relationships are general; they involve no approximation related to the comparative values of energy bandgap and spin orbit coupling. They should therefore, be applicable to both non-degenerate and degenerate semiconductors. They are quite suitable for the investigation of electrical transport in heavily doped semiconductors under the influence of a magnetic field.
