Abstract

The optical properties of ZnPc-CdS composite thin films have been measured. The composite layers were prepared by vacuum evaporation. The electrical conduction mechanism prevailing in these junctions was of Poole-Frenkel type and the activation energy was found to have a linear dependence with applied field. The maximum photoconductivity occurred at an energy gap around 1.5 to 1.7 eV. The photosensitivity is found to increase with increase in applied voltage.
