Abstract
Effective crystalline size and strain in 'as-grown' and annealed photoconductive PbTe films of various thicknesses ( approximately 2000 AA and greater) have been determined by the method of variance analysis of the X-ray diffraction line profiles. Photosensitivity measurements have been made on the same films and it has been observed that there is a decrease in photosensitivity and microstrain with increase in crystallite size. The crystallite size increases and microstrain decreases when the films are heat-treated at 200 degrees C but the photosensitivity is markedly increased. The effect is probably due to chemisorbed oxygen.
