Photoelectron decay kinetics of cubic silver chloride microcrystal film adsorbing plentiful dye excited by laser

Abstract

There will be large numbers of carriers coming into being in the interior of silver chloride microcrystals when illumination acts on it. Microwave absorption and dielectric spectrum detection technology with high temporal resolution (1ns) can detect instantaneous decay process of photoelectrons. In this work, the photoelectron decay action of spectral sensitized silver chloride emulsion is measured by microwave absorption and dielectric spectrum detection technology. By analyzing the measured results, it is found that when plentiful dye adsorb on silver chloride microcrystals film, the photoelectron decay of silver chloride emulsion becomes faster than that of pure emulsion. However it is not that the more the dye is adsorbed, the faster the photoelectron decay will be. When the adsorbed dye reaches a certain level, the photoelectron decay becomes slower than the fastest instance. Combining with photoelectron decay kinetics theory it is found that the above results are induced by two kinds of effect from dye adsorption.
