RESONANT AND ROUND-TRIP GAIN FOR ACOUSTOELECTRIC DOMAINS IN n-InSb

Abstract
Resonant and round‐trip acoustoelectric gain are attainable in the high‐mobility, piezoelectric semiconductor n‐InSb, upon application of transverse magnetic fields. These features are demonstrated in the context of acoustoelectric domain formation and acoustoelectric instabilities. The elucidation of the basic features is greatly simplified by the use of constant‐current pulses, which eliminate oscillatory effects.
