Abstract :
Results are given that show that substantial storage of positive charges can occur in aluminium-oxide films above a certain thickness, leading to a surface-potential-difference change of up to at least 2 V. It has been established that these charges are mainly due to u.v. irradiation, and they have been observed on are cathodes.
