Transferred-electron effects in n -GaAs under hydrostatic pressure

Experimental results show that the peak velocity, peak electric field, and saturated velocity of the velocity–electric-field curve for n-GaAs all increase substantially with increasing hydrostatic pressure up to about 10 kbar; the peak velocity and field then begin decreasing with further increase i...

Description
Summary:Experimental results show that the peak velocity, peak electric field, and saturated velocity of the velocity–electric-field curve for n-GaAs all increase substantially with increasing hydrostatic pressure up to about 10 kbar; the peak velocity and field then begin decreasing with further increase in pressure. The extraction of the data from the current-voltage characteristics is based on an exploitation of the influence of the boundary conditions on the manifestation of transferred-electron-induced (Gunn) current instabilities.
