Abstract

In this work, we present a study of the characterization of the existence and absence of polar and inter-valley scattering mechanisms in In0.53Ga0.47As through analysis of the stationary and non-stationary curves of charge-carrier energy. The absence of polar scattering mechanisms is determined from the observation of a marked increase in carrier energy on the stationary curve of charge carriers energy as a function of applied electric field whose a dramatic and fastly increase of charge carriers energy is registered in their absence. In contrast, the absence of inter-valley scattering mechanisms is determined by the presence of an increase in carrier energy on the non-stationary curve as a function of applied electric field.
