Ra. Bisengaliev et al., PHOTOREFLECTION AND PHOTOCONDUCTION SPECTRA OF CDS CRYSTALS - EXCITONS IN THE ELECTRIC-FIELDS OF SURFACE-STATES, Physics of the solid state, 40(5), 1998, pp. 806-807
The exciton photoreflection spectra of CdS crystals are studied. It is
found that the form of the exciton photoreflection spectrum is determ
ined by a Stark shift of the exciton energy in the electric field of s
urface states. The dependences of the exciton photoreflection spectrum
on temperature on the intensity and wavelength of the modulating radi
ation, and on the processes by which the photoreflection signal relaxe
s is determined. An energy scheme is proposed for the surface states w
hich explains the observed effects of photoinduced changes in the surf
ace field. A correlation is established between the exciton photorefle
ction spectrum and the form of the fine structure in the photoconducti
vity. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
