Abstract:Polycrystalline PbTe thin film is prepared on glass substrate at 200 ~ PbTe thin film is Ntype and the carriers are electrons. The incident energy of photons, 3.4 eV, generates more electron carriers as the distance decreases which give rise to photoelectric current. The density of donors N d was determined to be 1.1 x 102o cm-3 which is consistent with the N:type conduction of PbTe. The activation energies of N-type PbTe thin films are 0.139, 0.139 and 0.126 eV below 60 ~ which change to P-type above 60 ~ Thi… Show more
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.
