  • Abstract
    The critical nd product for the suppression of Gunn oscillations in transversely thin diodes has been derived as a function of the dielectric surface loading. For permittivities of the dielectric higher than about one and a half times that of the active medium, a saturation of (nd)crit towards the infinite-surface-loading value is found.
