The classical hydrodynamic equations can be extended to include quantum effects by
incorporating the first quantum corrections. These quantum corrections are O(ℏ^2). The full …

This book focuses on the theory of phonon interactions in nanoscale structures with
particular emphasis on modern electronic and optoelectronic devices. The continuing …

In this paper, we address the topic of inelastic electron scattering in mesoscopic quantum
transport. For systems where only elastic scattering is present, Landauer theory provides an …

We have used nonequilibrium quantum statistical mechanics to derive an exact expression
for the current and a rate equation for a simple model of a resonant tunneling diode …

The spatial dependence of the wave functions for electrons in a parabolic quantum well with
double barriers has been calculated by using a transfer-matrix approach and compared with …

A quantum model and simulator for resonant tunneling diodes that includes three-
dimensional (3D) scattering-assisted tunneling processes is reported. The 3D phase …

Our objective is to study resonant tunneling of an electron in the presence of inelastic
scattering by optical phonons. Using a recently developed technique, based on exact …

Based on exactly map** of a many-body electron-phonon interaction problem onto a one-
body problem, we apply the well-established nonequilibrium Green function technique to …

Starting from the Keldysh formalism, general analytical expressions are derived for the
current and the occupation of the well in the presence of inelastic scattering, both at the main …

Based on a simplified analysis of perfectly conducting metals, it has been suggested
qualitatively that establishing metal‐semiconductor interfaces at the heterojunctions of polar …
