Abstract

In the status report for March 1 through May 31, 1962, experiments with single CdS crystals acti vated with copper were reported, which showed that such single crystal can very successfully be used as elements for a memory device. The most interesting feature of these crystals were: The relatively large size of their polarization-up to 10 to the -7th power coul/sq cm were ob served-the long decay time of this polariza tion-half value decay time of 1000 sec were ob served, and their very rapid rise and release times. In order to study how the polarizations of these crystals are affected by additional electric fields, the following experiments were carried out. They give very good insight into the processes leading to polarization of the crystal and into those causing the release of polarization. (Author)
