Abstract
At zero temperature and low electron concentration the only important effect limiting the electric conductivity in a perfect polar semiconductor is the emission of real longitudinal optical phonons. An analytical method based on Boltzmann's equation is developed to obtain the electron momentum distribution in this situation. Resulting plots of the distribution function with parameters corresponding to InSb andE= 12 and 120 V/cm are given.Keywords
