摘要:

半导体中的高场电荷输运具有重要的理论意义和实用价值。虽然低场输运的\textit{ab initio}处理已经发展得很好,但高场输运的处理却少得多,特别是对于据报道与GaAs相关的多声子过程。在这里,我们报告的高场输运性质和电流功率谱密度(PSD)的GaAs中的第一性原理,包括壳层上的双声子(2 PH)散射的计算。上壳2 PH散射率被发现定性地改变高场分布函数,通过增加动量和能量弛豫率,以及有助于显着的谷间散射。这一发现调和了一个长期存在的分歧,在GaAs谷间散射的强度从运输和光学研究推断。PSD随电场的特征非单调趋势在该理论水平上未被预测。我们的工作表明,如何\textit{ab initio}计算高场输运和噪声可能被用来作为一个严格的测试在半导体中的电子-声子相互作用。

英文摘要:

High-field charge transport in semiconductors is of fundamental interest and practical importance. While the \textit{ab initio} treatment of low-field transport is well-developed, the treatment of high-field transport is much less so, particularly for multi-phonon processes that are reported to be relevant in GaAs. Here, we report a calculation of the high-field transport properties and current power spectral density (PSD) of hot electrons in GaAs from first principles including on-shell two-phonon (2ph) scattering. The on-shell 2ph scattering rates are found to qualitatively alter the high-field distribution function by increasing both the momentum and energy relaxation rates as well as contributing markedly to intervalley scattering. This finding reconciles a long-standing discrepancy regarding the strength of intervalley scattering in GaAs as inferred from transport and optical studies. The characteristic non-monotonic trend of PSD with electric field is not predicted at this level of theory. Our work shows how \textit{ab initio} calculations of high-field transport and noise may be used as a stringent test of the electron-phonon interaction in semiconductors.
