Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Current pulses in KCl and KBr crystals at fields of 1 to 3 x 106 V/cm rise more slowly, but fall more rapidly, than the applied voltage.

  2. 2.

    The shape of the current pulse is related to production of a positive space charge near the cathode, together with electron injection from the cathode, which tends to neutralize the charge.
