Fig. 3: Carrier scattering rates.
From: Phonon-limited mobility for electrons and holes in highly-strained silicon
a Scattering rates for all relevant k points under 0%, 0.3%, and 1%-strain at 200 K (blue dots), 300 K (orange dots) and 400 K (red dots). The strain level is indicated on the right of the figure. The black lines are the scattering rates density at the three temperatures. b Scattering rates for all relevant k points at 300 K under strain ranging from 0% (blue) to 2% (red). The panels show the hole (left) and electron (right) scattering rates. The intravalley contribution of the electron scattering rates at 0%-strain dominates for energy below 53 meV and is highlighted (gray area), while the intervalley scattering is seen at higher energies. The minimum and maximum of the conduction and valence bands are indicated by Ec,0 and Ev,0, respectively.
