Abstract: | The intravalley acoustic scattering rate has been calculated here taking the screening by non-equilibrium electrons into account under the condition when the lifetime of the electrons is controlled by shallow attractive traps at low lattice temperature. The scattering rates now turn out to be field dependent and the characteristics are significantly different from what follows when the electron ensemble is in equilibrium with the lattice. The results indicate the possibility of interesting non-ohmic transport characteristics under these conditions. Numerical results are obtained for high purity samples of Si. |
