  • Abstract
    The drift velocity of electrons at high electric fields has been measured in n GaAs by the time-of-flight technique. The range of electric fields used was 20 to 85 kV/cm and the experiments were performed at temperatures of 158, 300, 340 and 400 K. All the results show the velocity to decrease slowly as the field is increased.
