Effect of Pauli principle on transport properties of some crystalline compound semiconductors

Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

The effect of Pauli principle on drift velocity is studied numerically for n-type tetrahedral semiconductors (GaAs, InP, CdTe, InAs and InSb). The method used is the standard quasiclassical Monte Carlo simulation. The electron concentrations range from 1015 cm−3 to 1019 cm−3. The Pauli principle effects become important above 1017 cm−3.
