Microwave Emission fromn-Type Indium Antimonide at 4.2 and 77°K

Abstract
Indium antimonide emits microwave noise when it is subjected simultaneously to parallel dc electric and magnetic fields whose values exceed certain thresholds. Comparison of the emission characteristics at 77°K with those at 4.2°K shows two major differences: (a) The threshold magnetic field at 4.2°K is approximately half that at 77°K. (b) With increasing magnetic field the emission at 4.2°K is comprised of a background continuum upon which are superposed equally spaced resonant spikes; at 77°K the background continuum only is observed.
