Popis: Electrical and photoelectric properties of Al-n-Si-SnO2:Cu-Ag heterostructures are studied. It is established that the charge transport in this structure is caused by double injection of charge carriers in the diffusion approximation. A 35% increase in the photocurrent is observed after exposing the heterostructure to a mixture of 1% of H2S with N2. The initial values of the photocurrent are recovered if the heterostructure is subsequently exposed to air. The rise and decay times of the photosignal are relatively short: 1 and 3 min, respectively.
