In this work we present a one-dimensional model of quantum electron transport in semiconductors that makes use of the Wigner function formalism and that takes into account the full band structure of the medium for energy bands of any shape. We introduce a multi-band Wigner function and derive the evolution equations for each component, with and without external fields, by using a Bloch states representation of the density matrix.

Abstract

In this work we present a one-dimensional model of quantum electron transport in semiconductors that makes use of the Wigner function formalism and that takes into account the full band structure of the medium for energy bands of any shape. We introduce a multi-band Wigner function and derive the evolution equations for each component, with and without external fields, by using a Bloch states representation of the density matrix.
