Ballistic transport from low-field to high-field regime is reviewed with transition from low-field ballistic mobility to high-field drift velocity limited to the intrinsic velocity for a given dimensionality. Equilibrium Fermi-Dirac to Boltzmann to nonequilibrium Arora distribution is delineated and...
