Abstract
Spatially resolved electron transport properties in steady state (SST) under the uniform electric field are investigated. It is found that the balance of local energy gain and loss always holds by taking into account the divergence of the energy flow, that is, the energy conservation law and the continuity equation of the energy flow for an electron swarm are affirmed to hold with the numerical data. Further, the features of the electron flux and the energy flow, the effects of ionization, excitation and attachment on the formation of the energy distribution, the condition forming the equilibrium and non-equilibrium regions in conservative and non-conservative cases for the electron number due to ionization and attachment etc. are discussed in detail.
