It is shown that anomalously low doses of fast neutrons may change the effective dc conductivity in the surface layer of polycrystalline lead by a factor of between 6 and 50, and this is true also of a single crystal of lead. This behavior is clearly noticeable for a neutron dose of 4 x 10/sup 7/ cm/sup -2/. The dose is an order of magnitude greater than for a single-crystal sample. This phenomenon is explained by the formation of surface microroughness due to neutron irradiation.
