Transport of charges, liberated by light in crystalline pigments (chlorophyll, methylchlorophyllide, haemin, the phthalocyanines) has been studied and their sign determined with two condenser methods. The positive carriers of photoconduction imply an oxidation-reduction intermolecular exchange of electron at the ground levels. Sensitization of the photoelectric effect in inorganic semiconductors by adsorbed pigments has been studied and interpreted as energy transfer. A light-induced proton exchange in layers of amphoteric acridine derivatives has been observed in fluorescence at low temperature, as an extension of a previous work on acridine in a matrix of organic acids in vacuo.* Spectral band pass from 10 to 1 mp and incident energy from 10-3 to 10-5 W cm-2 t We use further the abbreviation " ph-e.m.f." for this method.1 It has been recognized that the Bergmann condenser method can give reliable results 9 Spectral band pass from 5 mp (at 700 mp) to 0.6 mp (at 400 mp) ; incident energy at 700 and 400 mp respectively. for a single type of charge carriers only. 9 x 10-5 to 3 x 10-7 W cm-2, respectively.
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.
