Photoconductive CdS:Y films prepared by chemical bath technique show photocurrent to dark current ratios of the order of 105. From scanning electron micrographs, a combination of crystalline and noncrystalline growths are inferred. In the presence of Y a maximum transmission of the order of 60% is found. Traps at depths 0.68 and 0.72 eV are found effective.
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.
