photoelectromagnetic effect

...When a magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the direction of light irradiation to a sample that exhibits the Dember effect, the diffusion current generated by the Dember effect is subjected to the Lorentz force, generating an electromotive force perpendicular to both the direction of light irradiation and the direction of the magnetic field. This phenomenon is called the photoelectromagnetic effect, or PEM effect. Magnetic field detection elements and infrared detectors are made by utilizing the PEM effect. ...

…またデンバー効果を起こす試料に，光の照射方向と垂直方向に磁界を加えると，デンバー効果で生じた拡散電流がローレンツ力を受け，光の照射方向と磁界の方向の両者に垂直な方向に起電力を生ずる。この現象を光電磁効果photoelectromagnetic effect，またはPEM効果と呼ぶ。PEM効果を利用して，磁界検出素子や赤外線検出器が作られている。…
