摘要
Electrical and photoelectrical measurements have been performed on SnxSb20Se70-x (8 <= x <= 16) glassy films. The dc activation energy, optical gap and photoconduction parameters show a typical variation near x=10 composition indicating the occurrence of a rigidity percolation threshold in the present system. The photosensitivity increases with the increase in Sn content up to x=14 and an abrupt decrease for x=16 composition. Negative photoconductivity region have been observed in the higher temperature side for samples with x=10 and 16. This system belongs to the type II category of photoconductors. The results are explained on the basis of a change in the density of localized states present in the mobility gap with the change in the composition.
