Talk:Gunn diode

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In a Gunn effect diode (eg:GaAs diode)the main principle used is that a differential resistance region is formed when a very high DC voltage is applied to a multi-valley compound.when the applied voltage reaches the threshhold value there is the formation of a high field domain which causes current to drop considerably.gunn diode has four oscillation modes 1)Gunn oscillation mode 2)staable amplification mode 3)LSA oscillation mode 4)Bias circuit oscillation mode --61.1.225.137 17:58, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Who's "Gunn"?

Who is the Gunn diode named after? Or why is it a proper noun?? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.48.15.234 (talk • contribs).

Our article Scientific phenomena named after people#G says it's named after John Battiscombe Gunn; please feel free to be bold and add that to the article!
