Abstract

We report a Monte-Carlo investigation of Coulomb electron-hole scattering processes involving the split-off band in selected III-V semiconductors in the context of steady-state high-field minority-electron transport. Due to the small value of the relevant hole overlap factors, as well as the relative values of the r-L energy separation and the split-off energy, such processes do not make a significant contribution to the minority electron energy loss rate in In0.53Ga0.47As. In InP, however, the rhrs process accounts for a significant fraction of the total r-electron energy loss to holes.
