Abstract
Hot electron transport coefficients of cadmium sulfide in crossed electric and magnetic fields have been calculated by the Monte Carlo method at a lattice temperature of 77 °K. Piezoelectric, deformation-potential acoustic-mode, polar-mode, and ionized impurity scattering are included in the calculations. The application of a magnetic field increases the drift mobility at high electric fields. The Hall-to-drift-mobility ratio is found to increase and then decrease with increasing electric field. Its value is reduced as the magnetic field is raised.Keywords
