The influence of copper oxidation on the photoelectric properties of Cu-activated polycrystalline cadmium selenide

  • Published:
Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

The photoelectric properties of Cu-activated polycrystalline CdSe are studied. It is shown that during the heat treatment of the cadmium selenide with copper, cuprous oxide may be formed in intercrystalline layers, which significantly affects the spectral distribution of the photoconductivity, the integral sensitivity, and the time constant of the sample. When the copper is introduced by way of CuCl2 solution, however, the polycrystalline CdSe is activated with no noticeable formation of cuprous oxide.
