A current-controlled negative resistance has been found in thin single-crystal wafers of silicon-doped yttrium-iron garnet (Si-YIG). Switching properties have been examined, and relaxation oscillations in the range 0.5–1 MHz have been established in the negative resistance region. A conductive memory state having a behavior similar to that occurring in amorphous semiconductors has also been seen.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
