Electron-Plasmon Scattering Effect on Electron Transport Properties in ZnO using an Ensemble Monte Carlo Calculation Including Three-valley Band Structure Model
Abstract
A Monte Carlo method has been developed for the study of electron transport properties in ZnO taking into account the electron-plasmon scattering effect. It is shown that electron-plasmon scattering affects substantially the hot-electron energy distribution function and transport properties in bulk ZnO. The following scattering mechanisms, i.e, impurity, polar optical phonon, acoustic phonon, piezoelectric are also included in the calculation. Ionized impurity scattering has been treated beyond the Born approximation using the phase-shift analysis.
