Abstract
Nonlinear current transport behavior during low-temperature avalanche breakdown of germanium comprises the spontaneous formation of spatial and temporal dissipative structures in the formerly homogeneous semiconductor. Due to the simultaneous presence of two and more competing fundamental oscillatory modes intrinsic to our synergetic semiconductor system, selforganized emergence of quasiperiodic and mode-locked states can be observed followed by the quasiperiodic approach to low-dimensional chaos.
