Electron transient transport in an InxGa1−xAs-based (x=0.53) p-i-nnanostructure under the application of an electric field has been studied by time-resolvedRaman spectroscopy on a subpicosecond time scale and at T=300K. The experimental results reveal the time evolution of the electron distribution function and electron drift velocity with subpicosecond time resolution. These experimental results are compared with those of both InP-based and GaAs-based p-i-nnanostructures and provide a consistent understanding and better insight of electron transient transport phenomena in semiconductors.
