Abstract

The modulated photoconductivity was measured in single crystal YB66, essentially consisting of B12icosahedral clusters like many other boron-rich borides. A model, in which localized states participate both in photocarrier generation and trapping well explains the phase shift between excitation and photo-current. For the localized states involved, an ionization energy of 0.19 eV is estimated.
