Abstract

It is now well-established that a finite density of states exists in the amorphous material band gap [1]. In order to determine the localized states in the bottom of the gap of amorphous Se, we have studied the dark and the photoconductivity of Se layers obtained by vacuum evaporation on a substrate remained at T = 290K.
