Abstract
Dispersive photocurrent in a-As2Se3, for T>200K, provides a measure of the density of localized states near the mobility edge. The power law transients correspond to a density of states which is exponential, g(E)∝exp(-E/kTo), with To ~ 500K. Recent measurements below 200K show deviations from the high temperature behavior. Possible explanations are discussed.
