Abstract
This paper discusses the impact ionization rates of holes in AlxGa1−xSb near x=0.06, where resonance impact ionization is expected. Resonance impact ionization did not occur in a range of the electric field we studied. We evaluate the impact ionization of holes at the spin‐split‐off band theoretically, and show that our measured result is reasonable.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
