1 - 2 kV; 2 - 2.7 kV; 3 - 2.9 kV; 4 - 3 kV; 5 - 3.05 kV. Let us discuss the theoretical and
experimental results.
From theoretical calculations (Fig. 1) it follows that the stationary value of the concentration of
nonequilibrium carriers n increases sharply (curve 5) and becomes infinity at
ξμE → 1 / τ.
From
this condition, one can find out the physical meaning of the coefficient ξ. Let us denote
λ = 1 / ξ
-
some effective length characteristic of the exciting action of the plasma flow on the
semiconductor. Then the condition
ξμE → 1 / τ
can be rewritten as
t = λ / μE = τ or λ = μEτ.
The
greatest effect of the action of plasma excitation occurs when the length of the drift displacement
of the carriers in the semiconductor
L
E
= μEτ
becomes equal to λ. In other words, when the time
of flight tпр by a carrier of characteristic length λ reaches the lifetime tпр = τ with increasing
field strength. If we introduce the time of flight tпр by the carrier of the entire length of the
semiconductor L (
t
пр
= L / μE
), then the condition
ξμE → 1 / τ
can be written in the form
τ = (λ /
L)
tпр. This condition resembles the exclusion condition (τ = tпр) with the difference that before
tпр there is a factor
λ / L
- the ratio of the characteristic length to the length of the sample. Thus,
ξ is undoubtedly related to the efficiency of the plasma action.
The experimental relaxation curves shown (Fig. 2) show that at
E = 1 / ξμτ
, relaxation is
expressed by a linear increase in the photocurrent with a slope (curve 3) corresponding to the rate
of optical generation in the absence of recombination. In this case, the recombination losses of
carriers are exactly compensated by generation from the plasma, and the effective lifetime
1 /τ
eff
= 1 / τ - ξμE
becomes infinite. At
E> 1 / ξμτ
, the negative lifetime condition is realized, there is
no stationary state, an exponentially similar increase in the photocurrent with time takes place,
and a positive feedback is observed in the gas-discharge cell. In the region
E <1/ξμτ
, teff is
positive, the photocurrent has a stationary value.
As can be seen from the experimental relaxation curves (Fig. 2), their general character to a
certain extent agrees with theoretical calculations (Fig. 1), including in the region of negative
Fig. 1.
