1. Acceptor impurities on the surface of anthracene and in the presurface layer lead to the formation of regions with a high concentration of holes. 2. When an electrochemical reaction, which injects holes into anthracene, proceeds at the phase boundary, the existence of regions on the surface with a high concentration of holes leads to a pitting character of the corrosion, which indicates its autocatalytic character. 3. In the case where anthracene, excited by the pulses of low-energy electrons, exhibits a nonequilibrium conductivity, the existence of regions with a high concentration of holes is manifested in the appearance of the slow component of the hole conductivity and an increase in the efficiency of generating current carriers in the surface layer. © 1971 Consultants Bureau.
