Esaki junction transport explained and additional device results. a Qualitative explanation of the measured I–V characteristics of the EDL Esaki junction. b Semi-log plot of the tunnel diode I–V characteristics at T = 80 K for the device D2. c Same characterization for the device D3. d Comparison of the measured VP and VV for the three different devices exhibiting NDR (D1 is the device under study in Fig. 4). Lighter (darker) color tone indicate the valley (peak) voltages. Different colors indicate different VBG as indicated in the legend. e Comparison of the measured IP and IV for the same devices
