Abstract:Photoconductors made of partially compensated GaAs are studied by EBIC. A greater‐than‐unity charge collection efficiency is identified and attributed to the photoconductive gain. An exponential dependence of EBIC current on position is found, and a significant sensitivity beneath the contact areas is detected. Some peculiarities are pointed out.
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.
