The decreasing parts of transient currents associated with photocarriers created by convenient light on one side of the samples are investigated as a function of the temperature in the range 60 to 300 K. From the slope of the two corresponding parts, two parameters, α 1 and α 2 are deduced. From their behavior several trapping center energy distribution models are discussed. The trapping center density is found to obey the law N t ( E ) = CE exp [− E/kT ] 2 . The width of the trapping center energy distribution is about 10 meV and their density reaches 10 21 cm −3 .
