Abstract :
The current-voltage relation for space-charge limited collisionless flow is computed for a model semiconductor with a hyperbolic band structure as deduced from two-band 
perturbation theory. The expected current is reduced significantly below the constant effective mass value for voltages in excess of the bandgap, and the high-voltage asymptotic relation is 
rather than
