Abstract
Photocurrent spectra of thin-film ZnS on glass fabricated by pulsed-laser deposition have been studied employing electric fields up to 20 kV/cm. The spectra show a shift towards lower energy at and beyond 10 kV/cm. By modeling the film absorption with the density of states and the Urbach rule, it is shown that, without the involvement of the Franz–Keldysh effect and excitonic transitions, the slope of the Urbach tail depends on the electric field, owing to impurity ionization.
