Abstract
The influence of the quantum mechanical reflection on current-voltage characteristics is analyzed for small semiconductor heterojunction diodes including a potential barrier. It is shown that negative differential resistance can arise under conditions where the energy of electrons coming to the potential barrier can be controlled by an external field.Keywords
