Abstract:A solution of the kinetic equation for the piezoelectric mode of electron-lattice interaction has been obtained by retaining the higher-order terms in the orthonormal expansion of the distribution function a t high electric fields. It is seen that at low temperatures and moderately high elcctric fields, the inclusion of the higher-order terms significantly changes the isotropic part of the distribution function of electrons in piezoelectric semiconductors with low electron dcnsities (for which thc analysis is … Show more
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.
