21. We use the relaxation time approximation with the scattering time reported in W.K. Tse, E.H. Hwang, and S. Das Sarma, Appl. Phys. Lett. 93, 023128 (2008) and imposing particle, energy, and momentum conservation. The electron-electron scattering does not affect the zero-voltage conductivity and increases the high-field current only by up to 4% at Vg=±24 Volt. APPLAB 0003-6951 10.1063/1.2956669
