Abstract
A full band Monte Carlo simulation for electron motion in a GaAs crystal un der mid-infrared free-electron-laser (FEL) pulses is performed. Average ele ctron energy and number of occurrence of impact ionization are calculated a s a function of time for different wave-lengths of FEL pulses. The results are compared with the experimental observation of band-gap luminescence fro m a GaAs/AlGaAs asymmetric double-quantum-well structure. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
