The existence of a p—n junction is shown to be able to account for non‐Hecht pulse‐height‐vs‐voltage curves in pulsed photoconductivity measurements. No changes in the pulse‐height‐vs‐voltage curves were observed in crystalline anthracene, however, when capacitive feedback was used to eliminate the effect of such a junction.
