  • Abstract
    By illuminating the small area of the semitransparent Schottky barrier cathode of an n-InP diode with above-bandgap radiation, the travelling dipole domain can be triggered. The dipole domain transversely extends with a velocity of 108 cms¿1. The nature of high travelling speed and high extension speed of the dipole domain can be used for achieving a high-speed and high-gain n-InP photodetector.
