Abstract:The effect is considered of current injection on photoconduction. A theory is described which suggests that the effect of current injection on photoconduction will be most important for thin film low conductivity photoconductors, at high electric fields and in which surface exciton dissociation occurs. An equation is derived which enables the prediction of the time, voltage, and intensity dependence of photoconduction. These predictions are compared with the characteristics of the organic photoconductor μ‐chlo… 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.
