Abstract
A detailed investigation of the nonstationary photocurrent in crystals with a sillenite structure grown in an oxygen-free (argon) atmosphere is performed. Basic parameters of the photoinduced charge carriers in the crystals investigated, such as the mean carrier lifetime and mobility, the mean photoconductivity, the carrier diffusion length, and the Debye screening length, are determined.
