Hole mobility (${\mathbf{v}}_h={\mu }_h\mathbf{E}$)

The positive hole mobility is the magnitude of an electron hole's weak-field drift velocity per unit electric field. In an isotropic relaxation-time model, ${\mu }_h=e{\tau }_h/m_h^{\ast }$, and its contribution to electrical conductivity is $ep{\mu }_h$. The sign is opposite to an electron's drift because the electron hole has positive charge.
