  An appearance of a direct current perpendicularly to a constant component of
an electric field in material with Rashba Hamiltonian under the influence of an
elliptically polarized wave is investigated in one-subband approximation. On
its physical nature this effect is close to a circular photogalvanic effect
(CPGE) on intraband transitions. The effect is studied on the base of two
approaches: investigations of Boltzmann kinetic equation in a constant
collision frequency approximation and semiclassical Monte Carlo simulations,
which immediately takes into account microscopic processes of charge carriers
scattering on optical and acoustical phonons. Monte Carlo modelling allows us
to determine a mean relaxation time and its dependencies on electric field
strengths and on the energy of optical phonons. On the base of these
estimations a possibility of using a constant relaxation time approximation is
justified. It is confirmed that the main contribution to the effects of
transverse rectification is made by inelastic scattering of electrons on
optical phonons. A comparison of results of Monte Carlo simulations and
calculations on the base of a constant collision frequency approximation is
presented.
