Abstract
The hot-electron distribution function has been calculated in the magnetic quantum limit for crossed field configuration. The theoretical model of Kurosawa and Yamada (1973) has been improved by including electron-electron scattering. The broadening of the energy levels is also considered. In addition our model allows the calculation of the time evolution of the hot-electron system. Results for the stationary and time-dependent distribution function are found to be in good agreement with experiments performed on n-InSb at liquid helium temperatures.Keywords
