Photoconductivity oj Solids is the first and only book to offer a comprehensive analysis of the photoconductivity of solids. It represents an important addition to the literature since photoconductivity is n.ot only a phenomenon of great interest in its own right, but also a basic tool in a 11 solid-state research. The hebook provides a unified physical description and interpretation of photoconductivity phenomena, drawing examples from many different kinds of materials. In. addition, the correlation bet,veen photo- conductivity and other related phenomena iIl.insulators and seniconductors is given.
