- A set of equations for calculating the probability for electric-field-induced interband transitions in periodic crystals (Krieger and Iafrate 1986 Phys. Rev. B 33 5494) can be used in combination with the full band Monte Carlo method to study high-field electronic transport properties in semiconductors. However, when the equations are applied to realistic cases in which the underlying band structure is obtained from numerical band structure programmes, the equations are not directly solvable because of the indeterminacy of the phases of the band structure Bloch wavefunctions. Here we discuss this problem and present a method for choosing the phases of the Bloch functions in such a way that the equations yield physically correct interband transition probabilities.
