Abstract
A photocurrent multiplication of up to 200 times has been observed in single crystals of naphthalene tetracarboxylic anhydride sandwiched between metal electrodes. Photocurrent multiplication arises from photoinduced electron injection occurring at the crystal/metal interface. The high-speed response of the multiplied photocurrent reached 500 ms.Keywords
