Abstract
The degree of the photodoping process in Ag(100 )/a-$Se_{75}Ge_{25}$(2000 ) films has been measured as a funcition of photon energy between 1.5eV and 2.9eV with the exposing time. The window of Ag occurs at 3400 (3.65eV) and Ag is almost transparent in this region. It was shown that transmitance is always constant (40∼50%) for the wavelength ranges of our experiment. It was found that the energy gap of a unexposed a-$Se_{75}Ge_{25}$ film is 1.81eV. Ag photodoping process result in the photodarkenting effect which the absorption edge shift to the large wavelength. Especially, we could obtain very large band shut ( ∼0.3eV) resulting in exposing He-Ne laser(6328[ ]). From the result of our experimental, we suggest that Ag photodoping process depends on the photon absorption in Ag.
