Abstract
Prolonged exposure to strongly absorbed light induces irreversible and reversible changes in the ac conductivity () of amorphous films. The irreversible change (decrease of ) observed for as-deposited films is ascribed to photopolymerization. The reversible change (an increase of after illumination and removal of change by annealing) is attributed to defect creation and annihilation.
