Description

The appearance of surface conductance in p-type germanium samples irradiated at 77 K with 60Co rays due to a strong surface band bending was reported in Ref. 1. Charging of the surface as a result of irradiation may be due to formation of new surface electron states as a result of adsorption-desorption processes on the surfaces of germanium samples immersed in liquid nitrogen and subjected to irradiation with gamma rays or due to formation of ultraslow surface electron states typical of germanium coated by an natural oxide film. The contributions of these two processes were estimated by ultraviolet irradiation of p-type germanium samples immersed in liquid nitrogen
