摘要
We investigate the anomalous negative oscillations present in the frequency dependence of an acoustoelectric current by using surface acoustic wave devices. The time domain responses of the transmission performances for our devices show that the Bragg reflections from the second transducer have a strong effect. On the basis of the results measured, a new model is advanced for explaining the anomalous negative oscillations present in the I(f) characteristics. In addition in the negative direction, the acoustoelectric current measured as a function of the gate voltage is observed to be quantized. And the interpretation for the negative quantized plateaus present in the I(V-g) characteristics is also given. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
