Definition
The proportionality between an electron's average drift velocity and the applied electric field in the low-field regime, commonly denoted μn and expressed in units such as cm²/V·s.
Application
Used to calculate electron drift current, conductivity and device transport performance; mobility is characterized by Hall or related methods and varies with material, temperature, doping and scattering mechanisms.
