Abstract

Despite the remarkable progress of the electron transport analysis in recent years, available methods for the transient analysis seems very few. Kitamori et al. (1980) presented a rigorous method of transient analysis of electron transport “direct estimation of moment” method. However, the procedure is rather complicated and is not easy to utilize it commonly. We used a simple procedure of analysis for the transient transport property of electrons. The procedure is like a simulation of practical behavior of electrons carrying cascading flights under the influence of an electric field and collisions with gas atoms.
