Abstract
Microwave cavity perturbation measurements have been performed on several n-type silicon samples with different depolarization factors due to sample geometries. The general solution for the complex frequency shift in slab geometry is discussed for the specific case of semiconductors. The depolarization crossovers predicted by the theory have been experimentally observed. Their relative intensities suggest that the imaginary part of the complex conductivity of semiconductors has to be taken into account. Electron scattering time has been inferred from the microwave measurements.
