Enhancement of persistent photoconductivity by uv excitation in GdBa2Cu3O6.3.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The spectral dependence of the persistent photoconductivity in GdBa2Cu3O6.3 was measured in the nearinfrared to the ultraviolet energy range. The excitation efficiency is strongly enhanced for a photon energy of 4.1 eV. Photons with this energy create electron-hole pairs close to oxygen vacancies in the Cu-O chain layers. Therefore, the probability for the excited electron to be trapped at an oxygen vacancy is very high, which leads to the strong enhancement of the excitation efficiency of persistent photoconductivity. @S0163-1829~96!50130-X#

Persistent photoinduced superconductivity
We review work done at UCSD on persistent photoconductivity and photoinduced superconductivity in REBa,Cu~O, thin films. It is shown that the resistivity, Hall coefficient and c-axis parameter change significantly upon illumination. All these effects require the presence of oxygen vacancies. The maximum enhancement of the conductivity with illumination occurs for fully deoxygenated ,samples (x=...
متن کاملPersistent photoconductivity in strontium titanate.
Persistent photoconductivity was observed in strontium titanate (SrTiO(3)) single crystals. When exposed to sub-bandgap light (2.9 eV or higher) at room temperature, the free-electron concentration increases by over 2 orders of magnitude. After the light is turned off, the enhanced conductivity persists for several days, with negligible decay. From positron lifetime measurements, the persistent...
متن کاملPersistent photoconductivity and defect levels in n-type AlGaN/GaN heterostructures
Persistent photoconductivity effects have been characterized in n-type Al0.15Ga0.85N/GaN heterostructures using both monochromatic light and room light illumination. Time constants of ;1310 s have been observed, and measurements of photocurrent specta performed using various illumination geometries and techniques have shown that defect levels exist in both the Al0.15Ga0.85N and GaN layers. Broa...
متن کاملPersistent Photoconductivity Studies in Nanostructured ZnO UV Sensors
The phenomenon of persistent photoconductivity is elusive and has not been addressed to an extent to attract attention both in micro and nanoscale devices due to unavailability of clear material systems and device configurations capable of providing comprehensive information. In this work, we have employed a nanostructured (nanowire diameter 30-65 nm and 5 μm in length) ZnO-based metal-semicond...
متن کاملCellular automata model for persistent photoconductivity in YBCO
We feel that persistent photoconductivity has lacked an adequate microscopic model to date. In an effort to remedy this, we present a cellular automata model based on the idea that trapped electrons in the basal plane lead to structural rearrangements when illuminated with light ranging from IR–UV wavelengths. We interpret our results within a single-band model for the electronic structure of Y...
