spontaneous microwave current oscillations in certain III-V semiconductors above a threshold field, caused by electrons transferring into a slower band valley.

In semiconductor physics, Gunn effect refers to spontaneous microwave current oscillations in certain III-V semiconductors above a threshold field, caused by electrons transferring into a slower band valley. This meaning comes from Gunn (1963) in Solid State Communications.[1]
