The effect of heating-illumination cycling on the electrical propertie
s of a-Si :H fabricated in a glow discharge was investigated. Comparis
on of experimental and theoretical results shows that photostimulated
degradation of a-Si:H (the Staebler-Wronski effect) may occur due to l
ong-term degradation of structural defects generated by preliminary he
ating. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics. [S1063-7826(98)02510-1]
