Abstract
At lower temperatures, the photoconductivity of near stoichiometric or slightly selenium-rich a-ZnSe increases with an activation energy of 0.04 eV as the temperature decreases. Slightly Zn-rich samples do not exhibit this behaviour. This paper presents a model and a possible mechanism for this effect, which involves intimate valence alternation pairs as the controlling recombination centres at low temperatures. A similar effect has been observed in tellurium-rich a-CdTe.
