Under certain conditions electrons in a semiconductor become much hotter than the surrounding crystal lattice. When this happens, Ohm's Law breaks down: current

Hot-Electron Transport in Semiconductors (Topics in Applied Physics).

This review volume is based primarily on the balance equation approach developed since 1984. It provides a simple and analytical description about hot electron

Plasma and Current Instabilities in Semiconductors details the main ideas in the physics of plasma and current instabilities in semiconductors. The title first

The area of high field transport in semiconductors has been of interest since the early studies of dielectric breakdown in various materials. It really emerged
