摘要：

Anomalies in the detected output-voltage polarity of point-contact diodes at submillimetre wavelengths have been observed and are thought to be due to two competing mechanisms: (a) Schottky rectification, and (6) thermoelectric effect of heated majority carriers in the region of the junction. Optimisation of point-contact diodes for the thermoelectric effect may produce improved n.e.p.s at submillimetre wavelengths. © 1969, The Institution of Electrical Engineers. All rights reserved.
