Expressions are derived for some transport coefficients in a simple model degenerate semiconductor in the presence of a strong d.c. electric field and a weak magnetic field using a distribution function of carrier velocities corresponding to an elevated carrier temperature. T e has been calculated following Shockley's treatment. The variation of these transport coefficients with electric field strength, the impurity parameter \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \sqrt {b/a} $\end{document} , and the chemical potential η has been studied. The results are presented in the form of graphs.
