Principles of the operation of transistors whose output current is controll
ed by an external magnetic field are generalized. The unijunction, bipolar,
and field-effect magnetotransistors, and also their derivatives (magnetoth
yristors and magnetically controlled microcircuits) are considered. The mos
t important applications are outlined. (C) 2001 MAIK "Nauka/ Interperiodica
