  • Abstract
    The impurity content and photocarrier mobility of commercially-grown Bi12SiO20 was characterised. The mobilities were 0.12 cm2/V-s and 0.04 cm2/V-s for samples containing the lowest and highest impurity content, respectively. The difference in mobility is attributed to the formation of deep trapping levels, which is consistent with photocarrier transport dominated by hopping conduction
