Photovoltaic Behavior of V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>/4H-SiC Schottky Diodes for Cryogenic Applications

The photovoltaic behavior of (divanadioum pentoxide)/(4H polytype silicon carbide) Schottky diodes under ultraviolet illumination and down to 28K is investigated. In addition to their high stability, by using the thermionic model the analysis allows to confirm the predictability of performances at c...
