Abstract
Hall effect measurements are performed at 4.2 K on hot carriers in p-Ge (p = 1.5 x 1014/cm3). The data of the Hall mobility, the Hall angle, and the magnitude of current are compared with calculation to afford definite evidence for streaming motion and population inversion of light and heavy holes. The ratio of population inversion is estimated from an analysis of the results.
