摘要:
Using semiclassical Monte Carlo simulations and the band structure as calculated by the empirical pseudopotential method, we show that the electron‐phonon scattering rate in GaAs exceeds 1014s−1. As a consequence, impact ionization of ballistic (lucky) electrons becomes extremely unlikely. The objections of Capassoetal. to our treatment are discussed in detail and shown to be physically of minor importance.
