Photovoltaic Effect in Monoclinic ZnP 2

Heterojunction diodes consisting of n type In 2 O 3 film and p type monoclinic ZnP 2 single crystal were formed. Spectral response of monoclinic ZnP 2 was measured on these diodes using polarized monochromatic light. At wavelengths around 0.76 µm, the response for the electric vector of plane polari...

Description
Summary:Heterojunction diodes consisting of n type In 2 O 3 film and p type monoclinic ZnP 2 single crystal were formed. Spectral response of monoclinic ZnP 2 was measured on these diodes using polarized monochromatic light. At wavelengths around 0.76 µm, the response for the electric vector of plane polarized light parallel to the c -axis was considerably larger than that for the light polarized perpendicular to c . The anisotropy of the response corresponds to an intense dichroism observed in the absorption spectrum of monoclinic ZnP 2 . The overall response observed within the 0.35-0.86 µm range matches with the solar spectrum.
