Abstract
It is shown that in nitrides the instabilities based on the transit-time resonance inside the optical-phonon sphere of momentum space as well as the intervalley transfer of electrons can be realized in the TeraHertz frequency region. In both cases the maximum frequency of the instability is proportional to the effective rate of polar optical phonon emission.
