Abstract
An investigation of the current-voltage characteristics of a point-contact rectifier, taking account of the surface states, is described. Consideration is given to the influence of the forming of the rectifier point upon the current-voltage characteristic due to the change in the charge density in the surface state, caused by the redistribution of the charges on the contact periphery and in the bulk material.
