Abstract
Reproducible current saturation and current oscillations in piezoelectric semiconducing single crystal UHP Zinc Oxide over the temperature range from 300°K to 77°K has been experimentally observed. Through the concept of electron-acoustic wave interactions in piezoelectric ZnO, theoretical verification of the experimentally observed phenomena is presented . A new concept is introduced which predicts whether or not a particular crystal of ZnO will generate current instabilities at room temperature.
