Abstract
The modulated photoconductivity was measured in single crystal YB66, e ssentially consisting of B-12 icosahedral clusters like many other bor on-rich borides. A model, in which localized states participate both i n photocarrier generation and trapping well explains the phase shift b etween excitation and photocurrent. For the localized states involved, an ionization energy of 0.19 eV is estimated. (C) 1997 Academic Press .
