Abstract
The intrinsic, majority, and minority carrier models of photoconductivity are critically examined in terms of an experimental study of the effect of oxygen, sulfur, selenium, and the halogens on PbSe films. It is concluded that the only model adequately describing these experimental results is the following:Keywords
