摘要
We have studied the effects of adding small amounts of Mg on the electrical and thermal properties of a-Se films. The addition of Mg in the ppm range has resulted in significant changes in the charge transport and stability. The doped samples have shown to be excellent n-like layers which have electron ranges much greater than hole ranges, mu(e)tau(e) >> mu(h)tau(h). The n-like layers block the injection of holes from the positive electrode which results in a lower dark current in a-Se based X-ray detectors. The Differential scanning calorimetry studies have shown that a-Se doped with lower concentrations of Mg is more stable than samples with higher concentrations. (C) 2009 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
