Observation of negative differential conductance in a reverse-biased Ni/Ge Schottky diode

We report the experimental observation of negative differential conductance in a Ni/Ge Schottky diode. With the aid of theoretical models and numerical simulation we show that, at reverse bias, electons tunnel into the high electric field of the depletion region. This scatters the electrons into the...
