Abstract

Space-charge-limited-currents have been studied in Chlorazole Black E (CBE) dye to understand the current-voltage relationship and the nature and distribution of traps present in the dye. Three distinct regions of voltage-current characteristics have been observed probably for the first time. The results have been discussed on the basis of carrier injection theory. There are non-uniformly distributed deep as well as shallow traps.
