Studies of the photocapacitance of a-As2Se3 films reveal that its relaxatio
n has a fast and a slow component, leading to two distinct spectra for the
density and absorption cross section of deep levels, with different thresho
lds and magnitudes. The authors associate the fast component of the relaxat
ion with photoemission of holes from D+ centers, and speculate on the possi
ble nature of the slow component as well. (C) 1999 American Institute of Ph
