Abstract
The effect of external perturbations of large amplitude in the form of a coherent signal or noise on the behavior of dynamic and static current-voltage (I–V) characteristics of tunnel diodes has been experimentally investigated. It is shown that, when an appropriate frequency is chosen, an increase in the amplitude of the external coherent signal leads to the occurrence of multivaluedness and absolute negative resistance on the I–V characteristics of tunnel diodes. The noise effect suppresses the N-type negative differential resistance on the I–V characteristics of tunnel diodes and significantly distorts these characteristics. A possible mechanism of the occurrence of absolute negative resistance is proposed.
