摘要: It was found that at low currents and fields the steady-state forward postswitching curve of a silicon diode temperatures (below 15K) could be represented approximately by logI approximately=A+CV-B2( alpha sin2 theta + beta sin4 ) where I is current, V voltage, angle between direction current flow magnetic field B, A, C, are constants. A simple filament model with enhanced surface recombination used to explain results.
