Photovoltaic effect and Schottky barriers in the Au–In1−xGaxSb system

Abstract

The temperature dependence of the photovoltaic effect between 6 and 300 K has been measured on the Au–In1−xGaxSb system. Analysis of the data gives the Schottky barrier heights across the alloy system. In the n-type region of the system (InSb rich) the barrier is found to be [Formula: see text] while in the p-type region (GaSb rich) it is [Formula: see text].
