High-frequency acoustoelectric currents and departures from Ohm's law in thin platelets of CdS I. Linear behaviour

TL;DR: In this article, high-frequency currents associated with thin photoconducting cadmium sulphide platelets having flat and parallel faces are reported under conditions when round-trip gain due to acousto-electric amplification is achieved.

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.

Subharmonic generation of acoustic flux in GaAs

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that subharmonic generation may inhibit the formation of sonic and subsonic domains in GaAs by current noise measurements, and they also found that the generation of sub-harmonic acoustic waves has been found in GaA by current measurements.

Gigahertz acousto-electric oscillations in zinc oxide

TL;DR: In this paper, an acousto-electric excitation of the vibrational modes of the platelet was found to be responsible for the anomalous current in the 1 to 5 GHz range.

A room temperature ZnO acoustoelectric microwave oscillator

H M Janus
- 01 Dec 1970 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented results for ZnO acoustoelectric oscillators at room temperature of resistivities from 100 Ω cm to 104 ǫ cm, where the oscillations were divided into three different types depending on the thickness and conductivity of the sample in question.
