Abstract

We studied a resonant tunneling diode with intrinsic bistability when high and low current states simultaneously occur in a certain voltage range. We have found a novel type of electric oscillation in the bistable resonant tunneling diode. Under these oscillations one portion of the diode is in the high current state while the other is in the low current state. A periodic motion of the boundary between the high and low current regions gives rise to oscillations of the current in the external circuit.
