Inelastic electron-acoustic-phonon interaction in quantum-well wires
Due to the lack of transverse momentum conservation for the electron-acoustic-phonon interaction in quantum wires this interaction becomes strongly inelastic within a wide range of electron energies. As a result the electron distribution function has to be found from the integro-differential equation. We derive the new nonequUibrium distribution functions for these conditions and present the electric field dependences for the kinetic coefficients. Our approach can be applied as well for two-dimensional electron systems or for electrons subjected to an external quantizing magnetic Held. PACS: 73.50.Bk, 73.50.Fq
