Specific Negative Resistance in Solids

Open access
Ridley, B K·1963·Proceedings of the Physical Society

Abstract

The inherent instability associated with a specific differential negative resistance in a solid is discussed for the two cases voltage-controlled and current-controlled differential negative resistance. In the case of voltage-controlled differential negative resistance, it is shown that domains of high electric field occur. These domains are generally mobile and their movement is discussed. In the case, of current-controlled differential negative resistance, high current filaments form. The sizes of the domains and filaments are governed by the size of the specimen and by the principle of least entropy production. The effect of an external circuit is to inhibit stable filament formation in the case of current-controlled differential negative resistance and impose conditions under which stable domain formation can be observed in the case of voltage-controlled differential negative resistance.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
