Abstract
The energy loss rate of hot electrons due to longitudinal polar optica l phonons in narrow-gap semiconductors is calculated for the longitudi nal configuration with classical and quantum screening for various lat tice temperatures. The results are used to examine the influence of qu antum screening on the energy loss rate. A relative comparison of the effects of quantum and classical screening on the energy loss rate due to optical phonons is made. The energy loss rate without screening is compared with the energy loss rate with classical and quantum screeni ng.
