• Contents: Part 1 Phenomenological description: introduction; the photovoltaic effect and photoelectric phenomena; linear and circular photovoltaic effects; polarization aspects of the photovoltaic effect in some crystal types; glass coefficients; spatially oscillating and steady currents; photoinduced fields; experiment; the magnetophotovoltaic effect; conversion efficiency; limits to the phenomenological description. Part 2 Principles of the microsopic theory: elementary-process asymmetry; basic kinetic-theory formulas for a medium lacking a centre of symmetry; the photovoltaic effect in impurity-band transitions; band-band transitions; shift PVE; the scope for nondissipative current flow; magnetic-field effects; hop mechanism; mechanisms related to spatial inhomogeneity. Part 3 The photovoltaic effect in particular materials: gallium arsenide; gallium phosphide; zinc sulfide; tellurium; quartz; sillenites; lithium niobate and tantalate; potassium niobate; barium titanate; lead germanate; barium-strontium niobate; antimony sulfoiodide; other materials. Part 4 Nonlinear optical phenomena due to the photovoltaic effect: the photorefractive effect; holographic gratings; two-beam coupling; photoinduced scattering; four-wave mixing. Part 5 Anomalous photoinduced fields: strong fields; charge-stransport model; hot-electron diffusion; charge transfer in a light-induced grating. Part 6 Phenomena related to PVE: the photothermal effect; relaxation currents; even electrical and thermal conductivities; absolute negative photoconductivity; the surface photovoltaic effect; mirror isomer separation.
