Abstract
A new mechanism of impurity photoconductivity in semiconductors has been discovered. The form of the long-wavelength photoconductivity spectra observed in p-GaAs0.94Sb0.06: Ge is satisfactorily explained in terms of resonance ionization of impurity levels by phonons excited during absorption of infrared radiation.
