However it has also been observed that the energy position of those levels is influenced by external influences such as light soaking or annealing of the samples. The post-transit time-of-flight photocurrents that reveal those energy positions have, therefore, been systematically studied in samples with different pre-histories. The optical absorption in the samples was further examined through the constant-photocurrent method (CPM), and by photothermal deflection spectroscopy (PDS). Although the TOF results provide information on the D+ and D- levels separately, while the CPM and PDS data reflect the integral optical absorption between both centres and the bands, the results do agree. The photo-induced changes that are observed are stable at room temperature. | Notes: | Katholieke Univ Leuven, B-3001 Louvain, Belgium.
