Abstract
In this paper, the transport properties of Hg0.8Cd0.2Te have been investigated at 77 K using the hydrodynamic model. We remarked that ionized impurity scattering mechanism plays a dominant role in this material at low electric field. The drift velocity, mean energy and drift mobility are determined as functions of the electric field strength. Comparison is made with Monte Carlo calculations and experimental results. The obtained velocity-field curve is in good agreement with reported experimental data.
