THE INSTABILITY OF NEGATIVE DIFFERENTIAL RESISTANCE.

Abstract

It is shown that the mathematical expression of the thermodynamic restriction on the power generated as a consequence of negative differential resistance in crystals given by Ridley (Proc. Phys. Soc., 82, 954 (1963).) is incorrect. The appropriate relation is derived, and the influence of the formation of layer-like field domains on the possibility of stabilizing such regions is discussed.
