TRANSIENT SPACE-CHARGE-LIMITED PHOTOCURRENTS IN ANTHRACENE,

Abstract

The note is a report on the preliminary investigation of transient space-charge-limited photocurrents in anthracene. These currents arise from the drift of carriers generated at one electrode of a sandwich-type cell by a highly absorbed, intense, short flash of ultraviolet light. It is shown that unless space-charge effects, when present, are properly taken into account, the interpretation of the observed transient photocurrent may well lead to erroneous conclusions. This is particularly the case when trapping characteristics are deduced from these observations.
