Abstract
The photoinduced anisotropy of electrical properties and optical reversibility in amorphous chalcogenide films was analyzed to study photoinduced anisotropy of photoconductivity. Two linearly polarized laser beams were used to illuminate the amorphous films. Films with evaporated golden electrodes were used to measure anisotropy of photoconductivity. Analysis suggested that the presence of microanisotropic species in chalcogenide glassy films affected light absorption as well as transport properties of nonequilibrium charge carriers.
