Possibility of enhancing the photoconductivity of ZnSe (0.2%Те)/ZnO:O nanoheterojunction was investigated under effect of thermo-treatment in zinc vapor followed by 60Сo gamma-irradiation in air to the dose of 106 Gy by means of generation of impurity-defect complexes. The obtained ZnSe (0.2%Te)/ZnO:O,Zn nanoheterojunction had an electron conductivity with the activation energy 0.33 eV that is caused by thermo-stimulated transfer of charge carriers on the stable resonance level Γ6v= 5.76 eV in the conducting band. The significant photoconductivity growth from 10-10 to 10-5 Ω-1 was achieved at 300 K, and also a broad band (480-1100 nm) light scattering at free carriers occurred due to formation of additional stable associates (OSe0TeSe0VZn-), (OSe0VZn-)- or (OSe0VZnMeZnIIIZni) at the interface between the matrix crystal p-ZnSe(0.2%Te):O,Zn and nanocrystallite n-ZnO of 40 nm size, where amorphous phase layer of 1.2 nm was also grown.
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.
