THERMALLY STIMULATED CURRENT IN LAYERED SEMICONDUCTOR TLINS2 WITH INCOMMENSURATE PHASE

The thermally stimulated current (TSC) is studied in the temperature r ange between the commensurate phase (CP) and incommensurate phase (ICP ) in layered semiconductor TIInS2. It is shown that the successive the rmocyclings between the CP and ICP lead to remarkable changes in the T SC spectrum. The changes in the TSC spectrum are explained in the fram ework of the model which is based on the interaction of modulation str ucture with the traps in TIInS2. In order to obtain the straightforwar d information about this interaction, the trapping parameters are dete rmined from the TSC curves before and after the successive thermocylin gs.
