This effect is formed when a medium-density liquid, for example oil, begins to vibrate and during the interaction of the liquid surface with a pointed object, it begins to divide into droplets, which immediately have to connect with the liquid, but this does not happen due to vibrations and they literally jump on the surface. Each of these drops is held under the influence of vibration, but moreover, such drops have the property of moving, because under the influence of vibrations they create standing waves that propagate across the surface, however, during the interaction of the drop with it, it begins to change its direction, which is why the effect of the movement of the drop is formed.

The present explanation can be applied to Jung’s experiment by directing the droplets towards two slits. It is worth clarifying before this that the drop itself expresses in this case a corpuscle-particle, when vibrations are the probabilistic nature of the existence of quantum objects – the particles under study in the person of photons, electrons, ions and others. When a particle begins to move towards the slit, its wave, which begins to oscillate at the level of spacetime, due to the vibrational nature of the particle – the variable probability of its being at a specific point, since its movement is discrete, according to the tunneling effect, begins to interact with the particle itself.

So, when it approaches the gap, it passes through one of the slits, when its wave passes through both, as a result of which, after passing through the barrier, the particle begins to interact with the formed wave, changing its trajectory. Thus, one can clearly see how the interference pattern is formed using the example of explaining Young’s experiment with two slits by means of jumping droplets.

In addition, during the explanation of the experiment, the concept of tunneling was demonstrated, which can also be represented by jumping droplets. The fact is that any space, according to the quantum vacuum model, has an infinite number of particles that are immediately born, annihilate with each other, disappear, etc., that is, according to the quantum vacuum model, there is practically no particle – free space, from which it can be concluded that in order for a particle to be able to overcome no matter how small the distance, it needs energy through which it could overcome this distance, but it also happens that a particle overcomes the same distance without practically losing energy, which is called tunneling.

In this case, there is a barrier in front of the particle that is moving, which it must overcome by making a certain leap through it, but without expending energy to overcome it. Surprisingly, this effect can also be represented in the form of a drip model, according to which, if a certain wall is placed in front of a drop, then each time it will try to jump over it, but it will not work, however, at a certain moment, interaction with its own standing wave may be sufficient to obtain additional energy and to overcome the barrier. In such a phenomenon, the probability is surprisingly determined in the macrocosm in the same way as it is determined in the quantum measurement and description of the phenomenon of quantum tunneling of particles.

Moreover, the generality of the described phenomena for a wide variety of particles, from elementary particles to ions, is important, which in a sense makes the droplet model of demonstration almost universal. However, a large number of phenomena still remain unexplained, which means that not a few works should be done on the basis of available data and the drip model, as one of the most progressive analogies, will have to overcome quite a few tests on the way to achieving the goals set.

Annotation. In this article, the rates of surface recombination in polycrystalline CdTe films obtained on oxidized substrates are studied, and the results of the action of corona discharge into the CdTe-SiO2—Si-Al structure are presented. In the static mode, a shift of the short-circuit current spectra to the short-wave region was observed. To analyze the displacement of the short-circuit current spectra, the microwave probe photoconductivity (MW-PC) method was used and contactless registration of transient decay processes for redundant carriers was performed. From the data obtained, it was found that the rate of surface recombination was estimated at 19 ns. It was determined that filling of surface traps in CdTe leads to a decrease in the effect of surface recombination.

Keywords: semicrystalline structures, surface recombination rate, polycrystalline films, spectrum shift.

CdTe semiconductor films are an important material for the creation of photodetector devices based on its heterostructures operating in the near (up to 3 microns) and far (8—14 microns) The IR range. This paper presents studies of the heterostructure obtained from growing CdTe on the surface of SiO2 – Si. This CdTe – SiO2 – Si heterostructure is interesting because using the built-in charge in the SiO2 layer, it is possible to control the PHOTOEMF and the short-circuit current spectrum.

Polycrystalline CdTe films with a grain size of 0.05—0.1 microns were grown on a heated SiO2-Si surface in a vacuum of 105 mmHg. The photosensitivity of the resulting structure is controlled by the action of an electric field or corona discharge, which change the built-in field in the SiO2 layer. To enhance the effect, an Al layer is applied to the Si surface, and we get a «reverse» CdTe—SiO2—Si—Al type field effect transistor, where a control charge is located under the semiconductor layer, and its surface remains open.

When the voltage between the Al layer and the electrode exceeds 6 kV, a corona discharge occurs, while the embedded field inside the structure reaches 100V. At the same time, at the boundary of the CdTe and SiO2 layers, charge carriers (electrons and holes) are tunneled from the semiconductor layer into the deep levels of the dielectric. Charge carriers in the film and at the interface, depending on the magnitude of the built-in charge, change the potential relief, therefore, when this layer is photoexcited, they will be generated under the influence of the built-in charge. This changes the distribution of current carriers generated on the surface in such a way that it draws them into an area that is accessible only to weakly absorbed electromagnetic radiation. Therefore, photoedics also occurs with long-wave excitation. Due to the asymmetry of the barriers, weak absorbed radiation also generates photoedcs of the reverse sign. Then, under the influence of the volume charge, the inversion of the photoedc sign will mix the short-wave region, and the photosensitivity increases in the region of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum we are studying.

As stated above, when studying the effect of a corona discharge on the CdTe-SiO2—Si-Al structure, it showed that the short-circuit current spectra, depending on the magnitude of the external corona discharge in static mode, their displacement into the short-wave region was observed (Fig.1).

Figure 1 shows the spectral dependences of the short-circuit current (Icz) of the CdTe layer for various values of corona discharge intensity, which were carried out by contact (2) and electric probe contact (3) to the surface of the CdTe semiconductor. It can be seen that in the absence of external influences in the Icz (v) spectra, an inversion of the Icz sign is observed in the vicinity of the light quantum energy value equal to hv= 1.21eV (curve 1) the inclusion of the surface corona discharge potential between the CdTe layer and silicon leads to a significant change in the spectral sensitivity of the short-circuit current (Icz). When the surface potential changes within its value from 0 to 100V, the inversion position of the short-circuit current sign will mix into the short-wave region of the spectrum. In this case, the maximum photo sensitivity of the Icz will be mixed into the short-wavelength region of the spectrum and in the range from 0.93 eV to 1.5 eV. The position of the maximum value of the Icz increases by more than 1000 times at = 70V (curve 3) [63; – p.22—25]. For a qualitative description of the physical nature of the transfer phenomenon occurring in the CdTe-SiO2-Si-Al structure (semiconductor – oxide – semiconductor, i.e. When a voltage is applied to it, consider a model in which a stationary current is a flow of electrons tunneling from the conduction band of a semiconductor into a deep level located in an oxide (including into a trap at the interface). Since the thickness of the silicon oxide in the structure under consideration is 0.4 microns, we estimate that the first contribution and the total flux are insignificant (less than 25%).

It should be noted that during corona discharge, the activation energy of the deep level (0.7eV) changes significantly depending on the potential of the corona discharge. This change is due to the influence of the optical ionization energy of the deep level located in the region of the volume charge near the SiO2 layer (this is indicated by experimental results). If we consider that this change occurs due to the Poole – Frenkel effect [64; p.52], then the mixing of the level can be estimated by the formula

where, is the dielectric constant of CdTe, e is the electron charge. Then, according to our estimates, the electric field strength in the vicinity of the defect reaches 103 V/cm.

To verify and analyze the above, the CdTe layer was separated from the SiO2 surface and installed on the sapphire surface. After that, contactless registration of transient decay processes for excess carriers was carried out using the microwave probe photoconductivity (WPC) method [2]. The parameters of deep traps and the state of their filling are determined by the photoionization of the captured media. Photoionization took place under the action of laser pulses varying in spectrum.

The cross section in the Lukovsky model is expressed in the following form

where B is the multiplicative coefficient [3]. For photons with energy hv, the change in a (hv) absorption coefficient at

it will also be proportional to the density of the captured media. The density of photo-emission carriers

at a fixed surface density F (hv), the incident photons are controlled by the MW probe. At the same time, the density of Nd traps can be independently estimated from the spectra of the absorption coefficient a (hv). The n/N fill factor can be controlled by combined measurements of the peak value of the MW-PC or a (hv) signal depending on F|hv, and saturation of these characteristics indicates complete photoionization of Nd traps.

Depending on the excitation wavelength, transient processes of contact photoconductivity were additionally measured. These measurements were carried out by exciting the interelectrode gap of the photoresistor and registering the photocurrent on a 50 ohm load resistor. The photocurrent and MW response signals were recorded using a Tektronix 1 GHz TDS-5104 oscilloscope.

Figure 2.a shows the recorded MW-PC transients at a relatively low (I1/I2=0.2) Excitation densities for the separated CdTe layer. From Fig. 2.a, it can be concluded that with an increase in the excitation wavelength, the shape of the MW-PC transient process changes from two components to one exponential. For a very thin sample with bare surfaces, this means the manifestation of surface recombination [2].
