IS AN AMPLIFIER REALIZABLE WHICH USES THE NEGATIVE MASSES OF SEMICONDUCTOR HOLES,

Abstract

The quantity of negative effective mass carriers (holes) in Ge and Si is insufficient to realize a negative mass amplifier. A strong electric field acting on Ge at the temperature of liquid nitrogen induces anisotropic conductivity in this material. This anisotropy does not depend on orientation of fild in relation to the crystal axes. This indicates that negative mass carriers have slight effect on the anisotropy. (Author)
