Acoustoelectric energy conversion in n-InSb

Abstract
Acoustoelectric energy conversion in n‐type InSb has been investigated. Electromagnetic radiation is observed at 77°K when the externally injected acoustic wave arrives at the end of a sample. The frequency of the radiation is the same as that of the acoustic wave. Application of an electric field enhances its intensity, and a transverse magnetic field also affects it. Dependence of the conversion efficiency on the external field is shown.
