The production of improved photoresponsive amorphous alloys (118, 146, 148, 150, 168 170, 172, 174, 176, 180, 194, 206, 208 210, 214, 216, 218, 220) and devices (142 168, 178, 192, 198, 212), such as photovoltaic photoreceptive devices, and the like; having improved wavelength threshold characteristics is made possible by adding one or more band yap increasing elements to the alloys (118, 146, 148, 150, 168, 170, 172, 174 176, 180, 194, 206, 208, 210, 214, 216 218, 220) and de-, vices (142, 168, 178 192, 198, 212). The in-, creasing element or elements are added at least to a portion of the active photoresponsive regions (150, 170, 172, 180, 186, 194, 208, 216) of amorphous devices (142, …
