The persistent photoconductivity (PPC) of amorphous Hg0.78Cd0.22Te: In films has been studied under illumination by super-bandgap light (a He-Ne laser, hv = 1.96 eV, 30 mW/cm2) and sub-bandgap light (1000 K Blackbody source, the largest photon energies hvp = 0.42 eV, 8.9 mW/cm2) in the range of 80-300 K. The persistent photoconductivity effect increases with increase in illumination intensity and illumination time. However, it decreases with increase in working temperature. The non-exponential decay of photoconductivity implies the presence of continuous distribution of defect states in amorphous Hg0.78Cd0.22Te: In films. These results indicate that the decay of photoconductivity is not governed by the carrier trapped in the intrinsic defects, but it may be due to light-induced defects under light illumination.
Contents General information Experimental procedures of the strategy NMR spectra General Information Melting points were recorded on a Yanaco hot-stage melting point apparatus and uncorrected. Purification of reaction products was carried out by flash chromatography using EM Reagent silica gel 60 (230-400 mesh). Analytical thin layer chromatography was performed on EM Reagent 0.25 mm silica gel 60-F plates. 1 H NMR spectra were recorded at 400 MHz and 13 C NMR spectra were recorded at 100
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
