A mechanism for multiple carrier generation through impact ionization (IA) proposed earlier for bulk systems of strongly correlated insulators is generalized to the case of conventional insulators ...

IMP is an important process induced by Coulomb interactions among electrons in semiconductors 1,2. It critically affects carrier transport under high-electric field conditions 3 and is of currently ...

During electron-impact ionization (EII), high-energy electrons collide with atoms, knocking away one or more of their outer electrons. To calculate the probability that ionization will occur during ...
