Abstract:
The features of current instabilities in Ìn$_4$Si$_7$–Si$\langle$Mn$\rangle$–Ìn$_4$Si$_7$ and Ìn$_4$Si$_7$–Si$\langle$Mn$\rangle$–Ì heterojunctions are investigated at low temperatures and upon “intrinsic” illumination with $h\nu>$ 1.12 eV. It is shown that low-frequency self-oscillations related to intensification and quenching of the photoconductivity can be obtained at high applied voltages.
