PHOTOCONDUCTIVITY OF CDS EXCITED BY QUENCHING INFRARED RADIATION.
Abstract
Some CdS photoconductive single crystals, with high dark resistivity were irradiated at room temperature with 6.900A and 9.000A both simultaneously and successively. It was found that post-irradiation by 9.000A generates a photo current which lasts about five seconds although this infrared radiation quenches the photocurrent during simultaneous irradiation. It is suggested that infrared photoconductivity is connected with the transition of electrons to the conduction band, from deep acceptor levels. A model is proposed for the interpretation of several experimental results. (Author)
