Hot Electron Transport

In the balance-equation theory for hot-electron transport, the fact that electrons and phonons have different temperatures in the initial density matrix prevents one from directly invoking the conventional statistical Wick theorem to carry out a high-order perturbation analysis. Nevertheless, the well-known Feynman rules and diagram technique are demonstrated to be applicable to any order of the electron—impurity and electron—phonon interactions within the Keldysh Green’s function formalism of this theory.

Hot Electron Transport

The Nonequilibrium Statistical Operator method developed by Zubarev is generalized and applied to the study of hot-electron transport in semiconductors. The steady-state balance equations for momentum and energy are derived to the lowest order in the electron-lattice coupling. We show that the derived balance equations are exactly the same as those obtained by Lei and Ting. This equivalence stems from the fact that to the linear order in the electron-lattice coupling, two statistical density matrices have identical effect when they are used to calculate the average value of a dynamical operator. The application to the steady-state and transient hot-electron transport in multivalley semiconductors is also discussed.
