The kinetic properties of an isotropic antiferromagnetic nondegenerate semiconductor in a high electric field are investigated theoretically. By solving a system of kinetic equations for electrons and magnons a nonequilibrium electron distribution function is found. It is shown that under certain conditions the volt–ampere characteristic calculated with the use of this function may have an N shape.
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.
