The structure consists of oppositely-directed barriers. We developed a model of the electronic processes occurring in the structure. The possibilities of the selection of separate waves from the integral flux of radiation, the wave absorption and the quantitative spectral analysis of the waves of the model for contaminated environment were investigated. An algorithm was developed for carrying out the spectral analysis without the preliminary calibration, and for promoting a possible creation of a new type of a portable semiconductor spectrophotometer.展开更多

We introduce a new model employing portable photosensor devices that are based on the double-barrier and vertically placed silicon structure, for such applications. The different absorption depths of individual waves allow us to carry out their spectral selection using an algorithm developed for this specific objective. We tested the proposed model on experimental Ag-p-Si-n-Si structures. The algorithm is developed for the spectral analysis without the preliminary calibration. The low dark currents (several dozens of pA) permit us to carry out the spectral analysis of the integral flux of the electromagnetic radiation of low intensity. The quantitative data from light current-voltage characteristics allow us to obtain an intensity distribution spectrum characteristic of the material by using red LED and the green laser. The results of this investigation divulge new possibilities for the creation of a new type of the portable semiconductor spectrophotometer and due to its stand-off detection capability, offer potential pathways to evaluate hazardous substances.展开更多
