Abstract
By using several different modes of illumination it is shown that three different mechanisms are involved in the photoconductivity of CdS when the exciting radiation is in the vicinity of the absorption edge. In particular the production of surface photoconductivity by short-wavelength radiation is examined in the light of evidence showing significant energy transportation arising from fluorescence and exciton diffusion.Keywords
