Monte Carlo studies of steady-state electronic transport in compensated In0.53Ga0.47As

The steady-state velocity-field characteristics of n-type In0.53Ga0.47As are obtained through a Monte Carlo calculation for temperatures between 77 and 400 K, and for compensation ratios Na/Nd between 0 and 0.9. Alloy scattering is found to play a significant role in the low-temperature regime. Low-field electron drift mobilities are extracted from the velocity-field curves. We conclude by suggesting empirical relationships which model the velocity-field characteristics as a function of low-field electron drift mobility.
