Abstract
Nonlinear current transport behavior during low-temperature avalanche breakdown in extrinsic germanium comprises the spontaneous symmetry-breaking evocation of spatial and temporal dissipative structures in the formerly homogeneous semiconductor. Representing a general feature of spatially distributed and compartmentalized reaction–diffusion systems, such kind of order–disorder transitions are discussed in terms of the interdisciplinary synergetics concept that embraces wide ranges of human activities both in the arts and in the sciences.
