The scattering probability can be written, starting from (5.14),
by replacing
with a squared optical coupling constant
[Jacoboni83]. This constant can also include an overlap
factor
. The energy associated with the optical phonon
and the phonon number
can be assumed to be constant. Hence, the resulting
scattering probability is
|
(5.19) |
The scattering rate for optical phonons is a function of the final energy
|
(5.20) |
From the matrix element theorem one can derive that this type of
scattering occurs only in the conduction band valleys along the
directions [Harrison56].
