18. In fact, when electron irradiation of the product particle was prolonged, it darkened visibly in the microscope and the lattice structure reverted partially to that of silver metal. This is attributed to electron beam induced reduction of AgI to Ag.

25. Extremely short timescales still apply if one postulates hole injection into AgI by iodine as the charge transport mechanism because the coupled interstitial silver ion diffusion required for charge conservation is faster than both electron and hole diffusion [17,19].
