EFFECT OF COPPER ON CONDUCTIVITY OF AMORPHOUS ASSEYIZ

The effect of copper in AsSeyIz (for y = 1.4, z = 0.2) on physical and electrical properties has been examined. Temperature dependence of th e electrical conductivity has also been determined. Conduction type an d activation energies of electrical conductivity have been determined for Cu-x(AsSe1.4I0.2)(100-x) glasses, The study has also been concerne d with spectral distribution of photoconductivity of bulk glass sample s and thin films of analogous composition and with the determination o f photosensitivity maxima.
