Electron velocity in short samples of Ga0.47In0.53As at 300 K

Velocity-field characteristics of short samples of n-type Ga
0.47
In
0.53
As are calculated for 300 K using a Monte Carlo model and recent values of physical constants. The average electron velocity reaches a peak value for a field of about
0.5/L
(V . cm
^-1
),
L
being the sample length in centimeters. The peak value increases to about 8.5 × 10
⁷
cm . s
^-1
for a sample length of 0.1 µm. The values are 1.3-1.6 times the values for GaAs.
