12. 6 V/cm. Leaving aside the problem of the preparation of such a junction, the Debye lengths will approach interatomic distances. Then the strength and range of the electric field become comparable with those of the crystal field and the interface becomes similar to that between two different metallic phases, i.e., a situation that is very different from the one we are concerned with here.
