Abstract

By performing Time-of-Flight measurements on high-purity single-crystalline chemical vapor deposited diamond, we are able to extract the electron drift velocity of valley-polarized electrons in the low-injection regime. The aim of this study is to improve the understanding of the mechanisms involved in the conduction-band transport of valley-polarized electrons. The measurements were carried out within the temperature range of 10–80 K, and the experimental results are systematically compared with Monte Carlo charge transport simulations. We observe a rapid enhancement of the electron mobility with decreasing temperature, which reveals that inelastic effects in electron-phonon scattering become important below ∼40 K. In addition, we obtain the momentum relaxation rate for electrons with different valley polarizations.
