Abstract
Amorphous selenium alloy films have been found to exhibit excellent photosensitive properties from 300 to 700 nm. These films constitute the essential part of xerographic photoreceptors. Optical absorption, energy band gap and X-ray structural analysis of Se85 Te15 and Se85 As15 films are reported. The effect of annealing on these parameters has also been indicated.
