Abstract
We have theoretically investigated the band structure of InGaAs and strained InAs on (001) InP by employing the pseudopotentials and the local density approximation. We have extracted band parameters and analyzed electron transport by the Monte Carlo method. 26% higher mobility and 16% higher peak velocity are predicted in strained InAs in comparison with unstrained In0.53Ga0.47As
