  • Abstract
    We have investigated anisotropic properties for impact ionisation of GaAs using Monte Carlo simulation and a realistic energy band structure. The realistic energy band structure is derived from the empirical pseudopotential method and impact ionisation scattering rates are calculated by Fermi´s golden rule. For observing anisotropic properties of impact ionisation coefficients, a Monte Carlo simulation has been performed after electric fields are applied along different directions.
