Negative Resistance and Impact Ionization Impurities inn-Type Indium Antimonide

Abstract
n-type indium antimonide crystals at liquid-helium temperatures placed in magnetic fields of a few kilogauss have yielded negative resistance characteristics. The negative resistance is attributed to impact ionization of impurities. In addition, delay and rise times for the current have been studied, and an explanation in terms of the rate equation for ionization and recombination is given.
