We present an experimental study of bifurcation diagrams from low frequency current oscillations (LFO) measurements obtained from semi-insulating GaAs samples grown by low temperature molecular beam Epitaxy (LT-MBE). The considered growth temperatures were 215ºC and 265ºC. LFO are considered to be spontaneously generated oscillations under constant applied bias V. These oscillations were measurement and recorded in the form of time series. The bifurcation diagrams were obtained from the sequence of minima as a function of the applied bias. The standard measurement procedure was described elsewhere. As the control parameter, the bias allows the identification of a bifurcation route to chaos.
