  • Abstract
    The behavior of gallium arsenide Gunn oscillators, transistors, Schottky barrier diodes and optoelectronic pulse amplifier, were investigated in a flash X-ray environment. The damaging effects of fast neutrons from a pulsed reactor were also observed. When possible, the resultant data were compared with available data for similar silicon devices.
