Abstract
It is experimentally shown that a longitudinal autosoliton excited by an electric field in nonequilibrium electron-hole plasma in p-InSb moves towards the sample periphery under the effect of a transverse magnetic field. This sample region is characterized by a lowered temperature and by the fact that the unstable existence of the autosoliton leads to a cyclic process causing current oscillations in the sample circuit. An average velocity of the autosoliton motion amounts to 2 × 102−3 × 103 cm/s in a magnetic field within the range of 5962.5–22657.5 A/m.
