“Our present knowledge of high-field transport in particular materials is limited to regions close to the band edges. In the near future we should be able to penetrate further into the bands, proceeding hand in hand with the detailed studies of band structure now becoming available, and perhaps even contributing to these studies. Such advances should make possible a more detailed understanding of avalanche and perhaps ultimately of the problem that first stimulated interest in these studies, dielectric breakdown.” Esther Conwell, “High Field Transport in Semiconductors” 1967.
