Part three - semiconductors chapter XI theory and general information oh semiconductors

Data on photoconductive effects have been masterfully assembled by Moss (1) in a book entitled “Photoconductivity in the Elements”. The electrical and optical properties of twelve nonmetallic elements are considered. Much of the material represents original work by the author published here for the first time. About one-third of the book is devoted to a summary of theoretical topics. The bibliography of relevant publications enhances the value of this book to workers in this rapidly developing field.
