We have measured the photocurrent as a function of photon energy from 1.36 up to 1.55 eV for each temperature. From the analysis of the spectra for each temperature we have found three peaks corresponding to inter-band transitions and we plotted the energy that corresponds to the peaks as a function of temperature. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
