Abstract

Abstract Polycrystalline BaSi2 films were prepared by means of radio-frequency magnetron sputtering using a BaSi2 target and by post-annealing at 500 °C and above in ultrahigh vacuum. Striped Al electrodes spaced at 1.5 mm were evaporated on the surface. Photocurrents were clearly observed for photon energies greater than approximately 1.25 eV under bias voltages applied between the electrodes. The photoresponsivity increased with bias voltage Vbias and reached approximately 5 mA/W at 1.5 eV when Vbias = 2.0 V.
