Conclusions
-
1.
The value of the stationary photoeffect at low illumination intensities is proportional to the intensity.
-
2.
The value and sign of the photoeffect depend on the equilibrium curvature of the zones in the semiconductor (ϕn 0−ϕk 0 and the position of the Fermi level in the forbidden zone in the volume of the semiconductor (Δp-Δe).
-
3.
In the case of small deviations from equilibrium, illumination leads to a displacement of the current. The slope of the straight line i (ν), i. e., the value of the exchange current, does not change.
