The dielectric constant of the lattice, ε 1 , is determined in semiconductive bismuth–antimony alloys (7 at% < x < 22 at%). For measuring ε 1 the effect of the displacement current on the wave propagation in a direction parallel and perpendicular to the magnetic field is utilized. The measurements are carried out at helium temperatures and within a frequency range from 9 to 70 GHz. Thus the effect of the displacement current can be experimentally separated. The dielectric constant exhibits a strong dependence on x , which indicates a pole for the disappearing gap.
