Abstract
When a reverse voltage is suddenly applied to a germanium point-contact diode initially having zero bias it has been found that there is usually a decrease of current to the final steady value with a relaxation time of about 1 ms. Possible mechanisms for this process are discussed, and it is suggested that redistribution of surface charge is the most likely cause.
