چکیده

We consider a regularized Wigner equation with an oscillatory kernel, the regularization acts in the space variable to damp high frequencies. The oscillatory kernel is directly derived from the Schrödinger equation with an oscillatory potential. The problem therefore contains three scales, ε the oscillation length, θ the regularization parameter, δ the potential lattice. We prove that the homogenized limit (as ε vanishes) of this equation is a scattering equation with discrete jumps. As δ vanishes, the discrete scattering kernel boils down to a standard regular scattering kernel. As θ vanishes we recover the quantum scattering operator with collisions preserving energy sphere.

The Quantum Statistical Mechanical Theory of Transport Processes

A new derivation of the quantum Boltzmann transport equation for the Fermion system from the quantum time evolution equation for the wigner distribution function is presented. The method exhibits the origin of the time - irreversibility of the Boltzmann equation. In the present work, the spin dependent and indistinguishibility of particles are also considered.

Quantum Correction to the Semiclassical Electron-Phonon Scattering Operator

Boltzmann equation was successfully used for transport description and modeling in conventional semiconductor devices from the early development of semiconductor technology. Due to a rapid down scaling of transistor dimensions, with the 90 nm technology node being already industrially implemented, quantum effects becomes more pronounced, and the question of going beyond the semiclassical approa...

A Particle Model for Wigner Transport through Tunneling Structures

– The Wigner equation taking into account both the non-local potential operator and a scattering operator represents a suitable physical model for carrier transport in nano structures. In this paper a new Monte Carlo method is proposed for the solution of the stationary Wigner equation. Scattering can be included at the level of the semi-classical Boltzmann scattering operator, whereas coherent...

A quasi-particle model of the electron–Wigner potential interaction

The Wigner equation was used for the calculation of carrier transport in mesoscopic devices. The carrier transport has a coherent part determined by the Wigner potential Vw and a dissipative part accounting for the interaction with phonons. Models have been developed which solve the equation by using quasi-particles evolving over pieces of classical Newton trajectories. In a backward evolution ...

(Semi)Classical Limit of the Hartree Equation with Harmonic Potential

Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations (NLS) of the Hartree type occur in the modeling of quantum semiconductor devices. Their ”semiclassical” limit of vanishing (scaled) Planck constant is both a mathematical challenge and practically relevant when coupling quantum models to classical models. With the aim of describing the semi-classical limit of the 3D Schrödinger–Poisson system with an additional h...
