Abstract
Abstract In electrical properties, the dc conductivity and photoconductivity measurements have been made in vacuum evaporated thin films of a-(Se 70 Te 30 ) 100− x (Se 98 Bi 2 ) x system, in the temperature range (308–355 K). It has been observed that dc conductivity and activation energy depend on the Bi concentration. Photocurrent dependence on incident radiation has also been observed which follow the power law ( I ph ∝ F γ ). Transient photocurrent exhibits the non-exponential decay time. All these parameters show that the recombination within the localized states is predominant. In crystallization kinetics, the heating rate dependence of glass transition and crystallization temperatures is studied to calculate the activation energy for thermal relaxation and activation energy for crystallization. The composition dependence of the activation energy for thermal relaxation and activation energy for crystallization is discussed in terms of the structure of Se–Te–Bi glassy system.
