【 摘 要 】

Conductivity of a semiconductor quantum wire with a parabolic confinement potential was studied within the framework of the zero-range potential model, containing donor impurities, in the longitudinal with respect to its axis electric field at low temperatures. A dispersion equation determining the dependence of the binding energy of the impurity on the electric field strength was obtained. It has been shown that the bound state of an electron on an impurity is destroyed by a strong electric field, i.e. the thermoelectric phenomenon of ionization occurs. It was found that under conditions of low temperatures the dependence of the current density in a quantum wire in the longitudinal electric field has a superlinear character.
