Özet

Electrical measurements were performed on TlSbSe2 ternary crystals in the temperature range 293-413 K. The obtained I-V characteristics consist of two regions: an Ohmic region at low current densities, and nonlinear regions having negative differential resistance (NDR) at moderate and higher current densities. The nonlinear behavior of the I-V curves was studied at different ambient temperatures. The sample temperature and the threshold voltage of the NDR region were also examined as a function of the ambient temperature. We detected that the investigated samples exhibit threshold-type switching and propose that the switching mechanism has an electronic origin.
