Abstract

Hot carrier steady state and transient transport in bulk semiconductors and heterostructures is analyzed here using a general balance equation formulation with nonequilibrium phonon occupation and an ambient magnetic field of arbitrary strength. Carrier-carrier Coulomb interactions are also incorporated dynamically, and for superlattices both intraplanar and interplanar interactions are included. We have also examined the thermal noise temperature for hot electrons at a nonzero bias.
