Microwave Solid-State Device Studies.

The objectives are to investigate theoretically and experimentally new solid-state phenomena and techniques having application to microwave generation, amplification and control. Current tasks under the program are: Microwave radiation from indium antimonide; Instabilities in germanium; Transverse and magnetic field effects on instabilities in bulk semiconductor plasmas; Gunn-effect oscillators and frequency converters; Gunn-effect amplifiers; High-power Gunn-effect devices; Avalanche-diode devices; High-power avalanche diodes; High-efficiency avalanche diodes; Solid-state device construction.
