Transferred-electron effect in In0.53Ga0.47As

Abstract
The transferred-electron effect in In0.53Ga0.47As is demonstrated by observation for the first time in the travelling-domain mode. Current pulses of more than 70% are found. From velocity/field characteristics the peak velocity is determined as (2.2 ± 0.3) × 107 cm/s. The temperature dependence of the peak current is measured.
