摘要

The photoconductive properties such as dark conductivity, steady state and transient characteristics of a-Se_85鈭?em>xTe₁₅Hg_x thin films, prepared by thermal vacuum evaporation technique have been studied in the temperature range 312-380 K. Analysis of data shows that the activation energy of dark current is greater as compared to the activation energy of photocurrent. The activation energy increases at higher concentration of Hg which shows that the defect density of states decreases. Analysis of intensity dependent photoconductivity shows that the bimolecular recombination is predominant. The transient photoconductivity shows that the carrier lifetime decreases with the increase in Hg concentration and increases at higher concentration of Hg. This decrease is due to the transition trapping process. Further the photosensitivity and carrier lifetime increases at higher concentration of Hg which also confirms that the density of defect states decreases.
