Özet:

 

The effects of modulation frequencies (up to 35 kHz) on the intensity- and temperature-dependence of photocurrent of amorphous (a-) Si:H p-i-n  and chalcogenide glasses (a-Se and  a-As2Se3) were  investigated in detail.  The variation of exponent n, and in the  power-law relationship sph or Iph \propto Gn   between the photoconductivity (or photocurrent) and the generation  flux, with modulation frequency in chalcogenide glasses is found to be  much stronger than that of a-Si:H p-i-n.  The activation energies,  calculated from the temperature-dependent photocurrent, were determined  at different modulation frequencies.  We conclude that the activation  energy increases with incresing modulation frequencies at low  excitation intensities.  The results are also compared with the  predictions of multiple-trapping (MT) and distant-pair (DP) models  developed for photoconductivity of a-semiconductors at high and low  temperatures, respectively.
