Magnetically tuned varistor-transistor hybrid device

Magnetically tuned varistor-transistor hybrid device

The paper deals with the effect of magnetic fields on the I-V characteristics of an IHC45 varistor. It is found that: (a) the nonlinear I-V characteristics of the varistor can be tuned by a magnetic field resulting in enhanced device performance; and (b) the contributions of a magnetic field on the...
