The basic measurement of the primary state of ionization related to the formation of a
non-rectifying contact by the electrolysis of insulating solids under homogeneous and
heterogeneous contacts has been carried out. The activation energy involved in the first
stage has been found to correlate with the band scheme of energy of contact which is
necessary for creating the defect centres towards space charge limited injection.
