Abstract
In n‐type germanium samples biased with a field in the range 4–10 kV/cm along (110) direction, the differential mobility along the (001) direction is found to be negative. Such transverse negative mobilities give rise to the formation of electrically polarized domains at right angles to the drift velocity of electrons. A brief discussion of the origin of negative transverse mobility is presented.Keywords
