  • Abstract
    The possibility of using a Gunn device as a switch similar to a tunnel diode is investigated theoretically. Three switching types are obtained, one of which leads to the homogeneous high-field state with predicted switching times of a few |RN|C (corresponding to the homogeneous sample).
