摘要
The photomechanical effect in p-type ZnTe single crystals was observed via a study of the microhardness variation with and without IR photoexcitation (lambda = 790 nm). The surface softening was found to increase with increasing intensity of radiation. At all intensity levels, the surface softening was seen to decrease slowly up to 8 gf load and thereafter to decline rapidly towards zero. The strain energy acting on the covalent bonds was determined as 0.27 eV. The results are explained on the basis of ionization of photosensitive defect centres.
