摘要
In the present paper concentration of traps (N-t) and trap depth (E-t) have been calculated by thermally stimulated current (TSC) measurements in amorphous Se70Te30-xZnx (x = 2, 4) thin films. These measurements are carried out at three different heating rates. It is observed that the amount of thermally stimulated current gradually increases and the temperature (T-m), at which maxima in TSC occurs, shifts to higher temperatures with increasing heating rates (beta) as expected. The trap depth is found to be quite different for x = 2 and x = 4. The concentration of traps also increases slightly at higher concentration of Zn. (C) 2009 Published by Elsevier B.V.
