Photoconductivity of Palladium 8-Hydroxy-Quinolinate

Abstract

The photoconductivity of palladium 8-hydroxy-quinolinate has been measured by the method of illuminating a specimen with two different wavelength lights. Palladium 8-hydroxy-quinolinate shows a main-response of photoconductivity at the wavelength 600∼700 mμ and a sub-response at 900∼950 mμ. The sub-response is affected by another illumination: the sub-response is increased by the illumination of 500∼700 mμ and decreased by the illumination of 700∼1200 mμ. It seems that this photoconduction behavior is caused by the trapping of exciton.
