ELECTRIC PINCH EFFECT IN MANY-VALLEY SEMICONDUCTORS UNDER ELECTRON HEATING CONDITIONS.

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

It is shown that carrier pinch and strongly rectifying current-voltage characteristics are exhibited by samples which are thin compared with the extended electron-hole recombination length if the conditions on the surfaces are strongly asymmetrical and the conditions of the Sasaki effect obtained. The direction of the pinch is determined by the direction of the current and by the dependence of the intervalley scattering time on the carrier heating.
