摘要：

We describe here the first comprehensive investigation of a pyroelectric response of a p-n junction in a non-polar paraelectric semiconductor. The pyroelectric effect is generated by the, temperature dependent, built-in electrical dipole moment. High quality PbTe p-n junctions have been prepared specifically for this experiment. The pyroelectric effect was excited by a continuous CO2 laser beam, modulated by a mechanical chopper. The shape and amplitude of the periodic and single-pulse pyroelectric signals were studied as a function of temperature (10-130 K), reverse bias voltage (up to -500 mV) and chopping frequency (4-2000 Hz). The pyroelectric coefficient is approximate to 10(-3) mu C/cm(2)K in the temperature region 40-80 K. The developed theoretical model quantitatively describes all the experimental features of the observed pyroelectric effect. The time evolution of the temperature within the p-n junction was reconstructed. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
