*The* standard reference paper is by Raytheon and MIT; it's the basis
of practically all commercially available GaAs (and InP) MESFET
performance modeling:
H. Statz et al., IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices, Vol. ED-34,
No. 2 (Feb 1987), pp. 160-169.
Of course some folks have their own, company-developed and highly
proprietary, data. (Which they aren't about to publish.)
Since you're doing some literature search, have a look at the
low-field bulk mobility of electrons and of holes in silicon, GaAs,
InP, and PbTe. Then draw a conclusion: why did all the Lead
Telluride researchers switch over to In/Ga/As/P in the 70's?
