Abstract

A model is proposed for the onset and development of an acoustoelectric domain in piezoelectric semiconductors as the acoustic instability grows. The model not only gives a qualitative description of all the basic nontrivial features of the development of the domain but also permits quantitative estimates of its parameters: the amplitude and duration. The fact that the estimates are close to the experimental values is a testament to the correctness of the model.
