Acoustoelectric Effects in Piezoelectric Semiconductors with main Emphasis on CdS and ZnO

TL;DR: A review of physical effects in piezoelectric semiconductors originating in the relative strong coupling between the electronic and sound wave systems is given in this paper, where sound amplification, non-electronic losses, effects of free carrier trapping, and a number of strong non-linear effects such as current saturation, current oscillations, and traveling high field and flux domains are discussed.

Microwave Emission from Indium Antimonide Stimulated by Acoustic Wave Amplification

TL;DR: In this paper, a small-signal theory for the emission of microwave noise, stimulated by acoustic wave amplification, from n-type InSb at 77°K in a transverse magnetic field, for electric drift fields below 25 V/cm was presented.

Crossed‐Field Acoustic Amplification in Extrinsic, High‐Mobility, Nondegenerate Semiconductors

TL;DR: In this paper, a theory based on the classical Boltzmann equation was developed for the acoustic gain in a high mobility, non-degenerate, extrinsic semiconductor subjected to crossed dc electric (E0) and magnetic (B0) fields with the wave vector k in the E0×B0 direction.

Acoustoelectric Effects in Indium Antimonide

TL;DR: In this paper, the acoustoelectric interaction in InSb has been investigated on the basis of a hydrodynamical theory, which accounts for the existence of two distinct modes of acoustic domain formation and for the reduction of peak acoustic gain at low values of magnetic field.
