Abstract

A new Monte-Carlo simulation algorithm has been applied to verify the concept of the effective temperature recently suggested as a description of energy relaxation of carriers in band tails of amorphous semiconductors under the presence of an applied electric field. The algorithm allows the simulation with arbitrary applied field and finite temperature. The results of the simulation agree favourably with the theoretical prediction.
