INJECTED ELECTRON-HOLE PLASMA PROPAGATION VELOCITY AND LIFETIME MEASUREMENTS IN P-TYPE INDIUM ANTIMONIDE,
Abstract
A finite time is required to complete the injection of electron-hole plasma throughout the length of a sample of InSb. Upon application of and electric field cross the sample ends, a cloud of electron-hole plasma forms at the negative contact and progresses down the sample length past two pairs of biased double probes which are spaced a known distance apart. As the front passes a probe pair it produces a decrease in resistance between the pair. This passage is observed as a pulse on a high speed oscilloscope. The velocity diminishes exponentially with decreasing electric field asymptotically to the field strength at which injection begins. (Author)
