We compare the high-energy distribution function of the lucky electron model, the Maxwellian distribution, and the asymptotic solution of Boltzmann's equation with Monte Carlo calculations in the effective-mass approximation. We show that the Monte Carlo calculations are in good agreement with the asymptotic solution of Boltzmann's equation for constant and for space-dependent electric fields while the other distributions do not agree with the Monte Carlo results.
