A Critical Assessment of Electron Transport Theory: Revised Theory of Ionized Impurity Scattering - Phase 3

Abstract

In Phases 1 and 2 of this work, it was shown that the widely used theory of electron transport based on the treatments of ionized-impurity scattering by Brooks and Herring and by Falicov and Cuevas cannot be relied upon for GaAs. Alternatively, the revised theory given in Phase 2 shows agreement with experiments on GaAs within a few percent, which is consistent with the current state of the experimental art. The object of the present Phase 3 work is to extend these considerations to ZnO and to GaN. The results from the present work appears to confirm the use of the revised theory of ionized-impurity scattering. A considerable revision of the calculations of electron transport theory is thus implied.
