摘要
Hot carriers in a doped graphene under dc electric field is described taking into account the intraband energy relaxation due to acoustic phonon scattering and the interband generation-recombination transitions caused by thermal radiation. The consideration is performed for the case when the intercarrier scattering effectively establishes the quasiequilibrium electron-hole distributions, with effective temperature and concentrations of carriers. The concentration and energy balance equations are solved taking into account an interplay between weak energy relaxation and generation-recombination processes. The nonlinear conductivity is calculated for the momentum relaxation caused by the elastic scattering. The current-voltage characteristics, and the transition between bipolar and monopolar regimes of conductivity are obtained and analyzed, for different temperatures and gate voltages.
