It is confirmed that the penumbral bright grains are moving towards the sunspots umbra. At the umbra-penumbra boundary their horizontal velocity is about 0.5 km s -1 and their displacement is inclined downwards with an angle of 5 ~ to 20 ~ .

✦ Synopsis
It is confirmed that the penumbral bright grains are moving towards the sunspots umbra. We find different prope r motions of 0.08 to 0.33 km s -1 for different penumbrae and different reduction methods. The lifetimes of these bright grains are about 1.5 to 3 hr depending on the position in the penumbra.

From investigating spectrograms of penumbrae of some sunspots it is concluded that the maximum magnetic field strength occurs in dark filaments and amounts to 1800-1900 G; the intensity of the magnetic field in dark filaments is 100-400 G larger than in the neighbouring bright filaments; the bright

The effective minority carrier lifetime in polycrystalline semiconductors is determined in terms of the grain size and the recombination velocity at the grain boundaries. The effect of the grain boundaries is to reduce the effective lifetime when the grain size is smaller than few diffusion lengths.
