Hydrodynamic simulation of electron transport in n-type Hg0.8Cd0.2Te

摘要

A hydrodynamic approach based on concentration, velocity and energy conservation equations is developed and used for the simulation of the electron transport in bulk HgCdTe. Both transient and steady-state regimes are simulated using input parameters calculated with a Monte Carlo simulator. The model is validated through a comparison in excellent agreement with Monte Carlo results.
