    Abstract

    The preparation and characterization of photosemiconductive electrodes of GaAs and of <TEX>$Fe_2O_3$</TEX> doped with MgO or CaO were investigated. The doped <TEX>$Fe_2O_3$</TEX> photosemiconductive electrodes were prepared from thin films sintered at temperatures from 1,100 to <TEX>$1,450^{\circ}C$</TEX>, and rapidly quenched in distilled water. The surfaces of the electrodes containing both corundum structure of <TEX>$Fe_2O_3$</TEX> and spinel structure of <TEX>$Mg_xFe_{3-x}O_4$</TEX> or <TEX>$Ca_xFe_{3-x}O_4$</TEX> were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The cathodic and anodic photocurrents on these electrodes indicated a critical doping amount of 5-11 wt. %. The photocurrents were enhanced when GaAs electrodes were treated with methylene violet the anodic photo-currents were temporarial enhanced and changed to the cathodic ptotocurrents after the surface was dryed.
