Abstract
Spatio-temporal dynamics in series-connected illuminated and dark semiconductors is studied under conditions of impurity electric breakdown. It is found that in the vicinity of unstable equilibrium points that correspond to the negative differential conductivity of illuminated or dark (or both) semiconductor samples, the nucleation, traveling, and destroying of electrical domains play a crucial role in the nonlinear oscillatory behavior of semiconductors.
