Abstract
The paper describes the observation of a new effect in N-type germanium ; namely a decrease in the absorption of microwave radiation on the application of an external electric field. The effect is due to the tendency for the electron drift velocity to saturate at high electric fields. The variation in electron drift velocity with field is obtained from the experimental results. Significant departures from Ohm's law are observed at electric fields as low as 10 v cm−1Keywords
