Abstract
Hot electron effects in quantum limit were investigated by observing photoconductivity in pure AgCl and AgBr crystals at 4.2K up to 13kV/cm and 52kOe using a fast-pulse technique with blocking electrodes. It is recognized that the hot electron effect in strong magnetic fields occurs above the critical field EH related to the magnetic field H through the equation eEHrc =ħωc, where rc and ωe are the cyclotron radius and frequency for electrons. These results are discussed in terms of the electron excitation from the N=0 Landau level to the N=1 level abruptly enhanced above EH.
