Abstract

The distribution function is derived for conduction electrons in a semi-conductor under the effect of a homogeneous electric field, on the basis of which one can explain the deviations from the validity of Ohm's law in strong electric fields or at low temperatures in homopolar semiconductors as well as the temperature dependence of the mobility.
