Thermally Stimulated Currents
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thermally stimulated current-curves in CdS platelets with slit electrodes change their character when the photoelectric gain-factor increases above one. Here the photocurrent remains essentially frozen-in up to temperatures at which marked thermal quenching sets in. A positive space charge region is assumed to be responsible for the frozen-in photocurrent. A reliable TSC-analysis of the trap distribution can be conducted only for gain factors considerably below one.

Thermally Stimulated Depolarization Currents in NaCl:Ca Crystals
Analysis of the thermally stimulated depolarization currents in Ca-doped NaCl crystals is carried out by taking into account the presence of the Ca-cation vacancy complexes with vacancies in both nearest-neighbourhood and next-nearest neighbourhood position. Relaxation parameters are derived by fitting the experimental data to standard equations. The results are, where possible, compared with t...

متن کاملInvestigation of Carrier Transport in GaN Single Crystals and Radiation Detectors by Thermally Stimulated Methods
We investigated single crystals of GaN and thin film GaN radiation detectors by thermally stimulated currents and thermally stimulated depolarization methods in order to characterize carrier transport properties as influenced by material defect structure. In thick GaN no expressed structure of the thermally stimulated current spectra was observed in the temperature range from 100 K up to 350 K,...

We report on the investigation of the radiation damage induced by neutron irradiation on both nand p-type Magnetic Czochralski silicon pad detectors by the Thermally Stimulated Currents (TSC) technique. Detectors have been irradiated with fast neutrons in the range 10 14 -10 16 n/cm 2 . Priming conditions have been studied in detail in order to investigate the residual electric field due to fro...
