A Numerical Method for Kinetic Semiconductor Equations in the Drift-Diffusion Limit
نویسنده
چکیده
An asymptotic-induced scheme for kinetic semiconductor equations with the diiusion scaling is developed. The scheme is based on the asymptotic analysis of the kinetic semiconductor equation. It works uniformly for all ranges of mean free paths. The velocity discretization is done using quadrature points equivalent to a moment expansion method. Numerical results for diierent physical situations are presented.

Numerical methods for a quantum drift-diffusion equation in semiconductor physics
We present the numerical methods and simulations used to solve a charge transport problem in semiconductor physics. The problem is described by a Wigner-Poisson kinetic system we have recently proposed and whose results are in good agreement with known experiments. In this model we consider doped semiconductor superlattices in which electrons are supposed to occupy the lowest miniband, exchange...
متن کاملAsymptotic-Induced Domain Decomposition Methods for Kinetic and Drift Diffusion Semiconductor Equations
This paper deals with domain decomposition methods for kinetic and drift diiusion semiconductor equations. In particular accurate coupling conditions at the interface between the kinetic and drift diiusion domain are given. The cases of slight and strong nonequilibrium situations at the interface are considered and numerical examples are shown.
متن کاملDiscretization of the Multiscale SemiconductorBoltzmann Equation by DiffusiveRelaxation Schemes
In this paper we derive diffusive relaxation schemes for the linear semiconductor Boltzmann equation that work in both the kinetic and diffusive regimes. Similar to our earlier approach for multiscale transport equations, we use the evenand oddparity formulation of the kinetic equation, and then reformulate it into the diffusive relaxation system (DRS). In order to handle the implicit anisotrop...

متن کاملSelf-sustained current oscillations in the kinetic theory of semiconductor superlattices
We present the first numerical solutions of a kinetic theory description of selfsustained current oscillations in n-doped semiconductor superlattices. The governing equation is a single-miniband Boltzmann-Poisson transport equation with a BGK (Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook) collision term. Appropriate boundary conditions for the distribution function describe electron injection in the contact regions. ...
