Abstract

The paper describes experimental work on the interaction of the drifting charge carriers with the piezoelectric lattice modes in highly resistive CdS crystals. Platelet specimens were fitted with evaporated metal electrodes and a fast electron (or light) pulse generated electron-hole pairs in a narrow region below the top electrode. A thin space charge layer of electrons was drawn across the crystal and the drift velocity was obtained directly. The crystals were mounted on a silica buffer rod with a quartz transducer on its opposite end, which permitted the simultaneous detection of the generated piezoelectric wave between 3 and 75 MHz and its correlation with the shift velocity results.
