The photoconductive response of the fundamental type of diodic nanodevice comprising a low resistivity, n-type epitaxial layer and a semi-insulating substrate is considered in terms of the optoelectronic parameter of photoconductive gain as experimentally measurable through monitoring the temporal evolution of conductivity current photoenhancement under continuous epilayer illumination-exposure. A modelling taking into account the built-in potential barrier of the interface of the epitaxial layer/substrate device (ESD) as well as its modification by the photovoltage induced within the illuminated ESD diode leads to predicting the technologically exploitable possibility of a notably slow photonic dose-evolution (exposure time-development) of the optonanoelectronics ESD photoconductive gain
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
