Electronic transport in the presence of trapping centers is considered by taking into account the local electric field contribution. A generalization of the previous models of field-assisted thermal ionization is proposed. The origin of the local electric field is discussed and a theoretical evaluation based on the electron-phonon interaction is given in agreement with the experimental results obtained in some differently doped CdF2 crystals and in SiO films.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
