The Photocurrent in Silver Halide Emulsion Grains as Determined by the Dember EffectFootnote

Pages 205-214 | Received 10 Feb 1976, Published online: 22 Jul 2016
 

Abstract

The explanation for the direction of photocurrent due to the Dember effect in silver halide emulsion grains is given for the situations where spectrally unsensitized silver halide grains were exposed to blue light and spectrally sensitized grains to green-red light.

The change of the Dember effect by varying the condition of the emulsion grains, that is, atmospheric condition, preexposure, chemical sensitization and desensitization, temperature dependence of photovoltage relaxation, the wavelength of the incident light and the ionic conductivity of silver halide grains, was observed and discussed.

Resume

On rend compte du sens du photocourant dû à l’effet Dember dans les émulsions aux halogénures d’argent non sensibilisées spectralement exposées en lumière bleue, et dans les émulsions sensibilisées spectralement exposées à des radiations allant du vert au rouge.

Observation et discussion des variations de l’effet Dember provoquées par des modifications de l’état des grains de l’émulsion: atmosphère ambiante préexposition, sensibilisation chimique et désensibilisation, dépendance de la relaxation du photopotentiel vis-à-vis de la température, longueur d’onde de la lumière incidente, conductivité ionique des grains d’halogénure d’argent.

Zusammenfassung

Die Richtung des Photonenstroms in spektral nicht sensibilisierten Silberhalogenidkristallen photographischer Emulsionen bei Bestrahlung mit Licht aus dem grünen bzw. roten Spektralbereich wird auf der Basis des Dember-Effektes erklärt. Weiterhin wird der Einlfuß einer Reihe verschiedener Parameter wie umgebende Atmosphäre, Vorbelichtung, chemische Sensibilisierung und Desensibilisierung, Wellenlänge der einfallenden Strahlung und lonenleitfühigkeit der Silberhalogenidkristalle auf den Dember-Effekt untersucht und die Ergebnisse werden diskutiert.

Riassunto

Viene data una spiegazione sulla direzione della fotocorrente dovuta a effetto Dember nei granuli di emulsioni ad alogenuro d’argento nel caso in cui granuli di alogenuro non sensibilizzati spettralmente siano esposti a luce blue mentre quelli sensibilizzati spettralmente siano esposti a luce verde.

Vengono discusse le osservazioni sul cambiamento dell’effetto Dember al variare delle condizioni dei granuli dell’emulsione, cioè, condizioni atmosferiche, pre-esposizionc, sensibilizzazione e desensibilizzazione chimica, la dipendenza dalla temperatura del rilassamento del foto voltaggio, la lunghezza d’onda della luce incidente e la conducibilità ionica dei granuli di alogenuro d’argento.
