Abstract
The average current density in n-type germanium subjected to superimposed strong ac and weak dc electric fields was both measured and calculated for frequencies of 9 and 35 GHz. Repopulation relaxation of the conduction band valleys and energy relaxation were taken into account. Experimental and theoretical result agree qualitatively.
