Abstract

We have calculated the steady state electron mobility in n-doped zinc sulphide (in WZ and ZB phases), driven far away from equilibrium by an electric field. The dependence of the electron mobility (which depends on the nonequilibrium thermodynamic state of the sample) on the concentration, temperature and electric field strength was obtained and analyzed.
