Abstract: The mobility of charge carriers $\mu$ in a parabolic quantum well in an electric field $\mathbf{E}$ directed along the size-confinement axis is calculated. With consideration for scattering of charge carriers at a rough surface, the mobility $\mu$ is shown to decrease with increasing $\mathbf{E}$. A physical interpretation of this effect is proposed.
