The energy relaxation of hot electrons in a strongly coupled, n-type GaAs/AlGaAs superlattice is measured by analysing the temperature and electric-field dependence of the interminiband absorption. Electrons are heated up by an electric-field pulse and the resulting change of the electron temperatur
Experimental results on high electric field longitudinal transport in GaAs/AlAs and \(G a A s / G a_{1-x} A l_{x} A s\) multiple quantum wells (MQW) are presented and compared with the prediction of a dielectric continuum model. We draw from our experiments the following four conclusions. (i) In \(
A model is proposed for the formation of the electron energy distribution in a hollow cathode discharge. On the basis of this model, an integral equation has been derived to calculate the electron distribution function over the entire cathode cavity volume. The equation holds true for both the isotr
