Popis: Some experimental investigations have been carried out on GaAs-based devices in connection with the existing two roots model. A new empirical relationship has been established which follows the experimental data for different semiconductor devices exactly. This has been explained in terms of the emission/capture of carriers by midgap traps, impurities etc. involved in the two roots model. It is experimentally established that appearance (and disappearance) of hysteresis in the I-V characteristics could take place in the same device at different temperatures. This phenomenon reemphasizes the importance of the model.
