Abstract
The temperature dependence of photoconductivity in p-GaSe crystals with different initial (having at 77 K) dark resistivities (ρ77 = 2·103 ÷ 7·106 Ω·cm) was experimentally studied in the temperature range of 77 ÷ 300 K. It has been established that in crystals with ρ77 < 104 Ω cm, only the value of the photocurrent changes depending on temperature. At T ≤ 250 K, in the higher-resistivity crystal, the spectral distribution, lux-ampere characteristic, as well as photoconductivity kinetics also change noticeably with a change in temperature. The obtained experimental results are explained on the basis of a model of crystalline semiconductor with random macroscopic defects.
