PHOTOCONDUCTIVITY IN LEAD SELENIDE

Abstract

The mechanism of photoconductivity in thin films of lead selenide has been investigated through the use of starting materials prepared in various ways, by using various sensitizing agents, and by varying the film thickness and the conditions of preparation of the films. The range of conditions producing sensitivity as well as the differences in sensitivity are used to formulate a model for the mechanism.
