Abstract
The electron drift‐velocity–electric‐field relationship has been calculated for the Ga1−xInxP1−yAsy quaternary alloy using the Monte Carlo method. Emphasis has been placed on the compositional range for which the alloy is lattice matched to GaAs and InP. These calculations suggest that this quaternary offers promise as a material for microwave semiconductor devices, including field‐effect transistors and transferred electron devices.

Monte Carlo determination of electron transport properties in gallium arsenide

TL;DR: In this article, a Monte Carlo technique was used to calculate the electron distribution functions in the (000) and (100) valleys of gallium arsenide, and the structure of the distribution function was interpreted in terms of the energy dependence of the scattering processes, particular reference being made to the prediction of a population inversion for fields in excess of about 10 kV cm.
