Simplifying Semiclassical Electron Transport in Highly Inhomogeneous Fields

Abstract: The Boltzmann transport equation describes the dynamics of electrons via the time evolution of a 6-D scalar field. This semiclassical description is valid in any device where the external field is relatively constant over the decoherence length. Near equilibrium, the electron distribution can be characterized by a local chemical potential and the lattice temperature, leading to a simplified electron state described by a 3-D scalar field. When external fields are large, this approximation breaks down as … Show more
