摘要: Abstract Negative differential conductivity (NDC) with a peak/valley ratio of 4.5:1 (4 K) and 2:1 (150 is observed in double barrier resonant tunnelling devices based on n-InP/(InGa)As. A transverse magnetic field applied the plane barriers ( J ¦ B ) significantly changes current-voltage characteristics eliminates NDC for fields above −10 T. This behaviour explained qualitatively terms effect vector potential electrons. The magneto-oscillations current ‖ are discussed simple model tunnelling.
