Abstract

The dependence of the photoconductivity sign on the bias voltage, intensity, and duration of illumination is studied for PbSnTe:In films in the space-charge-limited current regime. The role of traps (including surface ones) with a complex energy spectrum in the effects under observation is discussed.
