  • Abstract
    Recent experimental work on current instabilities and related properties of n-type germanium in high electric fields shows several kinds of instabilities. The purpose of this paper is to show that the differences can be explained by assuming different boundary conditions at the cathode. The method of analysis follows that of Conwell.
