Negative differential resistance, sometimes called negative dynamic resistance (NDR), occurs when an increase in voltage ...
Designers can take advantage of the latest fabrication techniques for and the expanding array of materials used in nonlinear devices (see “Use Nonlinear Devices As Linchpins To Next-Generation Design, ...
Many people who get analog electronics still struggle a bit to design oscillators. Even common simulators often need a trick to simulate some oscillating circuits. The Barkhausen criteria state that ...
With a storied history that includes more than a half-century of research, a Nobel Prize, and multiple attempts at practical applications, the story of negative differential resistance -- or NDR -- ...
Many people who get analog electronics still struggle a bit to design oscillators. Even common simulators often need a trick to simulate some oscillating circuits. The Barkhausen criteria state that ...
In the previous part of this series, we had discussed some of the important specifications of a crystal such as crystal pulling range, drive level and crystal stability with respect to temperature ...
In the presence of a magnetic field, negative resistivity can produce a positive resistance, along with a sign reversal in the Hall effect, in GaAs/AlGaAs semiconductor devices. In a paper appearing ...
Hearing and balance rely on the ability of hair cells in the inner ear to sense miniscule mechanical stimuli. In each cell, sound or acceleration deflects the mechanosensitive hair bundle, a tuft of ...
