Abstract
Ab initio band structure calculations were performed for GaAs, GaN, and ZnS within density functional theory to determine the impact ionization rate and the high-field electron transport characteristics. The drift velocity, mean kinetic energy, valley populations, and the ionization coefficient are gained from full-band ensemble Monte Carlo simulations. A pronounced influence of the band structure is found for all materials. Results are shown here for GaN.
