Özet:

Modulated photocurrent measurements in amorphous arsenic triselenide (a-As2Se3) is reported. Particular focus is paid towards photocarrier lifetimes as a function of temperature, and applied electric field (i.e. dc) were determined by using the quadrature frequency-resolved spectroscopy method. The activation energy from the photocurrent as a function of temperature was determined to be about 125 meV for a constant illumination intensity of 2.3 mW. Its value was found to be almost independent of the applied electric field. The exponent n in the power law relationship (Iph \propto Gv) between generating flux and photocurrent was obtained under different electric fields. The electric field dependence of photocurrent at various temperatures was also measured. A very little non-ohmic contact behavior was observed at low fields and at high temperatures.
