Radiation Effects on Resonant Tunneling Diodes: Preliminary ResultsWe have observed enhanced bistability (hysteresis) in the current-voltage characteristics of gamma irradiated resonant tunneling diodes. This bistability occurs in the negative differential conductance region for voltages larger than 1.1 V. We discuss possible mechanisms for the observed phenomena and also discuss the measurements sensitivity to the external circuit.
