Small-signal response of a germanium magnetodiode
Abstract
The characteristics and the principles of operation of magnetodiodes are considered and a description is given of experiments which have been conducted with a commercial magnetodiode at a temperature of 14 C. Operational parameters for seven different cases are presented in a table. Data concerning the stationary current as a function of magnetic inductance are shown in a graph. Other graphs provide information regarding the loci of the small-signal admittance associated with the considered operational cases, an admittance locus with experimental and theoretical relations, and the galvanomagnetic lifetime as a function of the magnetic induction.
