Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The value of the stationary photoeffect at low illumination intensities is proportional to the intensity.

  2. 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 (Δpe).

  3. 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.
