Hot electron galvanomagnetic conduction in cadmium sulfide— a Monte Carlo investigation

摘要

Hot electron transport coefficients of cadmium sulfide in crossed electric and magnetic fields have been calculated by the Monte Carlo method at a lattice temperature of 77 °K. Piezoelectric, deformation‐potential acoustic‐mode, polar‐mode, and ionized impurity scattering are included in the calculations. The application of a magnetic field increases the drift mobility at high electric fields. The Hall‐to‐drift‐mobility ratio is found to increase and then decrease with increasing electric field. Its value is reduced as the magnetic field is raised.
