Abstract
The dependences of the ac conductivity on frequency ( omega equals 10**5-10**7 Hz) and temperature (T equals 4. 2-1. 6 degree K) were studied for a series of samples of moderately and heavily doped germanium with strong compensation. It was shown that the experimental results can be explained by a model of multiplet hopping conduction when an electron is able to make several hops in a characteristic time of the order of 1/ omega . The number of hops determines the nature of the frequency and temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity, and varies with the amounts of doping and compensation.
