gunn diode is transfered electron device & PIN diode is semiconductor device
Gunn Diodes are used in high frequency electronics. The advantages are increased efficiency and improved temperature stability while a disadvantage is the Gunn Diode can get burned out.
Gunn diodes are used in GUNN oscillator over high frequency application. its work on the transfer electron effect TET and the scientist J.B Gunn observe it so the phenomenon is named by gunn effect. the diode are made from GaAs material.because silicon is not suitable low forbidden energy gap 1.21eV only.
John Gunn is the inventor of the Gunn diode. A link can be found below.

what is the difference between reverse characteristics of zener diode and a practical diode ?
The Zener diode has the characteristics of a constant voltage source.
A Gunn diode, also known as a transferred electron device (TED), is a form of diode used in high-frequency electronics. It is somewhat unusual in that it consists only of N-doped semiconductor material, whereas most diodes consist of both P and N-doped regions. In the Gunn diode, three regions exist: two of them are heavily N-doped on each terminal, with a thin layer of lightly doped material in between. When a voltage is applied to the device, the electrical gradient will be largest across the thin middle layer. Conduction will take place as in any conductive material with current being proportional to the applied voltage. Eventually, at higher field values, the conductive properties of the middle layer will be altered, increasing its resistivity and reducing the gradient across it, preventing further conduction and current actually starts to fall down. In practice, this means a Gunn diode has a region of negative differential resistance.
