In this article, the frequency against voltage curves of planar planar Gunn diodes with concentric contacts are presented for three different contact geometries, each of them having a tuning range of more than one octave.
Abstract
Voltage tuning of Gunn oscillations in the frequency range 1.5–8.5 GHz has been achieved by using planar Gunn diodes with concentric contacts. Frequency against voltage curves are presented for three diodes with somewhat different contact geometries, each of them having a tuning range of more than one octave. This simple method of tuning over large frequency ranges is of great potential interest. The production process using evaporation and etching is described.

A tunable-frequency Gunn diode fabricated by focused ion-beam implantation

TL;DR: In this article, a planar Gunn diode with a focused beam of silicon ions and a linear doping-concentration gradient between the contacts was constructed by implanting the device with the focused ion beam and increasing the dose from contact to contact.

TL;DR: Coherent Gunn oscillations have been observed in long samples of epitaxial GaAs grown by both the solution and the vapor-transport methods on semi-insulating GaAs substrates as mentioned in this paper.

Two-dimensional Gunn-domain dynamics

TL;DR: In this article, a simple model describing the domain shape in two-dimensional samples was obtained, and the solution of the equation provided a good explanation for most of the domain motions observed experimentally in various samples of non-uniform shape.
