Abstract
Momentum distribution functions for electrons are calculated for a polar semiconductor with parallel applied electric and magnetic fields. The derivative of the distribution function has singularities at certain electron energies due to the singularity in the density of states at zero energy. The interaction between the levels leads in some cases to a double hump in the distribution function.

Miniband transport in semiconductor superlattices in high electric and magnetic fields aligned parallel to the symmetry axis is studied within a quantum-kinetic approach that accounts for intra-collisional field effects of both fields and the heating of the lateral electron motion. Scattering on aco
