I have an electric field value for a uniform structure through which an electron travels. Given that I've calculated a transfer rate (frequency) for the electron when it goes from one molecule to the next, how would I go about working out the electron mobility?

More precisely, how can I formulate an expression for the drift velocity of the electron - my assumption is that if I know the path traversed by the electron (bond length in picometers) and the frequency (1/s), I'll get m/s which is to be divided by the electric field V/m to give m^2/V.s

Is that the right direction?
