Popis: Semiconductor/natural-protein photosensitive structures based on CdTe crystals and its ternary analogs have been created. The photoelectric properties of these structures in natural and linearly polarized light are examined. The wideband character of the photosensitivity of these semiconductor/protein structures is established in the range between the width of the semiconductor band gap and the energy ≈3.5 eV, where the latter is assumed to be the pseudogap in the band spectrum of the protein. It is shown that the natural photopleochroism of the semiconductor is reproduced in its contact with the protein. Potential applications of a new class of photosensors are discussed.
