摘要：

A study of the structural, optical and electrical properties of synthetic and natural melanin by means of X-ray diffraction, absorption and photocurrent techniques is reported. The model of the natural melanin film as a network of nano-aggregates of polymeric units based on the indolic structure is proposed to explain the X-ray diffraction results. The shape of the absorption spectra is similar to that of amorphous and disordered semiconductors, with a very strong, broad band UV and visible absorption and an optical gap value of about 0.5 eV Photosensitivity to sun spectra has been demonstrated by photoconductivity measurements of synthetic melanin pellets under AM1 light source illumination.
