Abstract
The parallel and transverse components of diffusion constants of electrons in CdTe have been computed for fields of 30, 40, and 50 kV/cm using the Monte Carlo method. Results are presented for the velocity autocorrelation function and for the ac diffusion constants for two models of energy band structure and scattering constants, used earlier in the literature. The diffusion constants as obtained from the two models are significantly different, but none are in agreement with the available experimental results.

Electron diffusion in CdTe

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the effect of polar optical scattering on the initial spreading of a delta distribution of electrons in CdTe at 300°K with the Monte Carlo technique and found that at fields around and above threshold the large spread of electron velocities causes an initial diffusion much greater than that predicted by the macroscopic equation.
