WITH A SCHOTTKY BARRIER BY THE MONTE CARLO METHOD

Process  of transfer of electrons  in a gallium arsenide 
running-wave amplifier  with a Schottky barrier has been 
investigated.   Simulation  of  the  process  has   been 
implemented by the Monte Carlo  method  with the use  of 
the three-valley (GammaLX) model of the GaAs conduction band 
with  account  for  the  nonparabolicity  of  the bands, 
scattering  on  phonons,  and transport between valleys. 
The  increment  of  spatial-charge  wave  (SCW) has been 
calculated; it has been shown that the amplification  in 
such  a  device  can  be  substantially  greater than in 
a beam-instability amplifier.
