Abstract: A theory of the photovoltaic effect in a semi-infinite multvalley semiconductor upon the absorption of polarized light at free carriers caused by the specular reflection and diffuse scattering of electrons at a film surface is developed by us. The kinetic Boltzmann equation in the approximation of time relaxation and boundary conditions, which determine the correlation between the distribution function of electrons reflected from a semi-infinite crystal surface and the distribution function of electrons incident onto a surface for the case of both specular reflection and diffuse scattering is used. The aforementioned takes into account the fact that the distribution function of electrons diffusely scattered from a surface depends only on their energy and is determined from the condition of total electron flux vanishing at the surface. Expressions for analyzing the spectral dependence of the current which is linearly dependent on the magnetic-field strength are obtained.

Keywords: Electron Flux, Specular Reflection, Diffuse Scattering, Momentum Component, Mutual Compensation.
