Abstract
Al–Si multilayer stacks have been prepared by an alloying process from aluminum and silicon platelets. Irradiation of a stack with infrared to visible laser radiation generates photovoltaic signals depending on the angle of incidence of the laser beam with respect to the layer planes, with zero signal and a polarity reversal for beam and layers in parallel. Results are explained in terms of photoactive layers connected in series and symmetrically aligned along the stack axis. For light beams inclined with respect to the layer planes, asymmetry is introduced by fractional shadowing of photoactive regions due to the intransparent metallic layers.
