Abstract The current-voltage characteristics and the differential resistance R(V)=dV/dI of Au/n-GaAs1−x Sbx tunneling contacts were investigated. Schottky barriers were prepared on n-GaAs1−x Sbx epitaxial layers, which were specially not doped, in the composition range 0.01〈x〈0.125. It was shown that the curves R(V) in the electron density range 2×1018⩽n⩽7×1018 cm−3 and temperature range 4.2⩽T⩽295 K are described well by the tunneling theory employing a self-consistent calculation of the potential in the Schottky barrier region. A square-root dependence of the conductance G(V)=(dV/dI)−1 on the bias voltage V was observed in the zero-bias anomaly region in accordance with the Al’tshuler-Aronov theory of quantum corrections introduced in the density of states at the Fermi level by the characteristic features of the electron-electron interaction in disordered metals.
