Hall mobility of hot electrons in CdS
Abstract
Photo-Hall effect of hot electrons in a pure single crystal of CdS was observed, for the first time. The measurement was carried out for electric fields up to 4,300 V/cm in magnetic fields up to 40 kOe at 4.2 K. The saturation of the drift velocity Vd of electrons due to optical phonon emission was observed. The saturated value of Vd is found to be about 1.7 × 10 7 cm/sec.
