Abstract
Highly densified, polycrystalline photoconductors can be produced by hot-pressing various materials, such as powdered lead monoxide. The powdered material is subjected to a temperature and pressure for a length of time sufficient to form a photoconductive element having a density of at least 85% and up to and including the theoretical density of the material. Such formed photoconductive element or material can be utilized in electro-photographic applications and, with the exception of such material in its single crystal form, will exhibit increased absorption of activating radiation, increased signal-to-noise ratios, and improved spatial frequency response in comparison with presently known photoconductive elements or materials.
