Abstract
The time-resolved emission spectra and the excitation spectra of the main emissions have been measured for the rst time in stressed and unstressed RbI crystals using synchrotron radiation of 10{30 eV at 8 K. It has been shown that the applied elastic uniaxial stress (EUS) oers promise for the separation of the elementary multiplication mechanisms of electronic excitations. A dierent influence of EUS on the self-trapping of excitons or holes at 8 K has been discussed. The mean free path of free excitons decreases, while that of valence holes increases in a stressed RbI crystal.

Problems related to p-n junctions in silicon

TL;DR: A simple model of the behavior of holes and electrons in the high reverse fields of p-n junctions has been shown to explain a large body of experimental information as discussed by the authors. But how such a simple model can work so well is somewhat of a mystery in view of the known complications of the band structure.
