RELATION BETWEEN PHOTOCONDUCTIVITY AND CHEMISORPTION KINETICS FOR STANNIC OXIDE CRYSTALS

Abstract

The photoconductive behavior of a number of natural and artificial crystalline specimens of stannic oxide was investigated in various gaseous ambients at pressures ranging from 10 to the 7th power mm Hg to atmospheric and at temperatures over the interval between 90 and 355 K. Dependence of photocurrent rise and decay rates on pressure and temperature was found to be consistent with the predictions of a model relating surface trapping of electrons and Elovich-type chemisorption.
