Abstract
A theory is presented for the microwave emission from n‐InSb at 77°K in the presence of magnetic and low electric fields using Maxwellian electron velocity distribution and piezoelectric coupling between sound and plasma waves. The case of crossed fields is discussed in detail. Magnetoresistance effect and Doppler‐shifted acoustic cyclotron resonance are the essential mechanisms which determine the magnetic field dependence of the microwave emission.Keywords
