conduction electrons driven by strong fields to an energy distribution well above the lattice temperature, causing departures from Ohm's law.

In semiconductor physics, hot electrons refers to conduction electrons driven by strong fields to an energy distribution well above the lattice temperature, causing departures from Ohm's law. This meaning comes from Shockley (1951) in Bell System Technical Journal.[1]
