Monte Carlo study of transport properties in copper halides

We present a study of transport properties in copper halides, by means of a Monte Carlo method. A negative differential resistance is observed at elevated field ( ∼50 kV/ cm ) with a decreasing of mobility. The same behavior appears in CuBr and CuI at lower field. Results also indicate a negligible...

Description
Summary:We present a study of transport properties in copper halides, by means of a Monte Carlo method. A negative differential resistance is observed at elevated field ( ∼50 kV/ cm ) with a decreasing of mobility. The same behavior appears in CuBr and CuI at lower field. Results also indicate a negligible effect of ionized scattering in such materials.
