Abstract

WHILE carrying out general exploratory work on the electrical properties of vacuum-deposited thin films, an interesting phenomenon was observed in boron layers. Similar effects have since been observed in other materials; however, most of the work so far has been with boron films. The purpose of this communication is to describe the observed phenomenon, leaving the explanation to a later date when more facts have been collected.
