F. Davidson et al., ELECTRON-HOLE COMPETITION EFFECTS IN PHOTOCURRENTS GENERATED BY MOVING SPACE-CHARGE FIELDS IN PHOTOCONDUCTIVE SEMICONDUCTORS WITH DEEP-LEVEL TRAPS, Optics communications, 111(5-6), 1994, pp. 470-477
The dependence of dc photocurrents generated by moving optical interfe
rence patterns inside two-sign charge carrier photoconductive semicond
uctors with deep level traps on fringe spacing and velocity was determ
ined. Sign reversal of the photocurrent as the grating spacing varies
was predicted and verified experimentally in an InP:Fe crystal. Materi
al characteristics for InP:Fe and CdTe:V samples were also determined
using this effect.
