Abstract

The temperature dependence of the photocurrent in doped sillenite-type crystals is investigated in the temperature range 80–300°K. In the region of low temperatures thermally activated photocurrent is observed, while at high temperatures quenching is observed. In a number of specimens the temperature quenching section is absent. The results are explained within the framework of a multilevel recombination model involving slow and fast recombination centers as well as capture levels.
