Abstract

Abstract: Photoelectron behavior of silver halide emulsion grains is an important factor influencing photosensitivity. In the present paper, research methods, photoelectron creation and decay, photoelectron traps, the influence of intrinsic and extrinsic traps for electrons on their lifetimes and decay processes, and the relationship of photoelectron behavior with other physical properties were reviewed.

Key words: silver halide, photoelectron, lifetime, decay, electron trap
