In such films, the residual photovoltage is caused by the separation of photocarriers by the built-in electrostatic field of the near-surface region of space charges and their asymmetric capture by deep levels of impurities or complexes, including impurity atoms and intrinsic defects, both in the bulk and on the surface of crystal grains. It has been shown that in activated films, a two-step exponential temporary relaxation of the initial photovoltage of the order of V<sub>APV</sub> ≈ (500-600) V is detected, and only 10% of it experiences long-term relaxation (t ≈ 100-120 min).展开更多

Doping film with In impurity leads to quenching of the doublet band, while further thermal treatment causes activation of the intrinsic band, the half-width and the blue shift of the red edge of which correlates with the maximum value of anomalously high photovoltage generated by the film.展开更多

The results of the numerical calculations of the partial and interference contributions of the bulk and radiative surface spectral modes to the EPL in the geometry of additional s- and p-polarized waves emitted into vacuum are analyzed. It is shown that the contributions of purely longitudinal excitons and their interference with polaritons of the upper dispersion branch near the longitudinal frequency ωL to the EPL are small (∼10% - 30%);nevertheless, they must be taken into account to obtain quantitative agreement with experimental data. Specifically these contributions are responsible for the formation of an additional line (along with the fundamental AT line) in the case of oblique incidence of radiation.展开更多

It is shown that at low illumination intensities L μ of electrons increases with a power law μ ~ L<sup>γ</sup>, first with the exponent γ > 1, then with γ ≈ 0.5, and their concentration n almost does not change. Starting from the intensity L > 12 - 15 lx, the electron concentration increases strongly n ~ L<sup>β</sup> from β ≈ 3.0, and the parameters n and μ reach relatively high values ~(10<sup>15</sup> - 10<sup>16</sup>) sm<sup>-3</sup> and ~(150 - 200) sm<sup>2</sup>/V·s, however further, at L > 50 lx, a weak dependence of n(L) and μ(L) with β, γ < 1.0 is found. The obtained experimental results are interpreted on the basis of a model of a semiconductor film with intergranular potential barriers when the concentration and barrier mechanisms of photoconductivity operate simultaneously.展开更多

It is shown that at x = 0.8 cadmium vacancies create a deep level with an activation energy Е<sub>v</sub> + (0.63 ± 0.02) eV, a complex of chlorine atom with a cadmium vacancy creates a level Е<sub>v</sub> + (0.43 ± 0.02) eV, as well as the fast recombination center Еv + (0.92 ± 0.02) eV. The formation of selenium vacancies due to the introduction of chlorine and its combination with cadmium leads to the appearance of a sticking level Е<sub>c</sub> - (0.19 ± 0.02) eV. CdSe<sub>0.8</sub>S<sub>0.2</sub> films can be used to develop light emitting diodes, photo sensors, IR and visible lasers.展开更多
