Abstract
A highly sensitive photoconductive layer with low dark decay has been fabricated for electrophotography using Se-As-Te amorphous chalcogenide. This photoconductor consists of four layers : a Se-rich blocking layer, a Te-rich ir-sensitive layer, an As-rich space-charge layer and a Se-rich voltage-sustaining layer. It has a sensitivity to beams having a wavelength of 750 nm almost as high as that of pure Se at a wavelength of 442 nm.
