Abstract

A critical review is given of recent experimental and quantum transport theoretical studies of hot electrons in quantizing magnetic fields. Particular attention is paid to new effective temperature models and to numerical solutions to exact quantum kinetic equations. The latter are discussed within a unified framework based on resolvent analyses of the Liouville equation. Special emphasis is given to carrier-carrier scattering, non-parabolicity, resonance phenomena and non-heating non-linear departures from Ohm's law. The optical determination of quantum distributions and the application of Fourier transform and harmonic detection techniques to hot carrier magneto-resonance spectroscopy is discussed with emphasis on magnetophonon and magnetic-impurity phenomena.
