HIGH-FIELD PHOTOCONDUCTIVITY OF AMORPHOUS GeTe and GeSe FILMS

P.J. StilesL. L. ChangL. EsakiRay Tsu

Year: 1970 Journal:   Applied Physics Letters Vol: 16 (10)Pages: 380-382   Publisher: American Institute of Physics

Abstract

The photoconductivity edge in amorphous films of GeTe or GeSe is found to shift toward lower photon energies with the application of high electric fields. Electrical measurements indicate that the shift is a bulk effect, not due to junctions at the contact-semiconductor interface.
