Abstract

Single crystals of defect III-VI semiconductors Ga2Te3 and In2Te3 have been grown by the Bridgman method. Capacitance vs frequency measurements have been carried out from which the low frequency dielectric constants ε 5 have been determined to be 10.95 ± 0.26 and 12.3 ± 0.13 respectively. These values are compared with the high-frequency dielectric constants ε60 calculated from the Phillips' model. Dark conductivity and photoconductivity have been studied as a function of annealing upto 210° C, maxinum photosensitivity being obtained for both crystals for Tanneal = 80° C. This behaviour has been related to lattice ordering through x-ray diffraction studies. Measurements of photo conductive gain indicate carrier life-times of 2 × 10-4s and 5 × 10-4s respectively at room-temperature.
