Conduction electrons in metallic nano-objects (1\, nm= 10^-9\, m 1 nm= 10-9 m) behave as
mobile negative charges confined by a fixed positively charged background, the atomic ions …

The single graphene layer is a novel material consisting of a flat monolayer of carbon atoms
packed in a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice, in which the electron dynamics is governed …

We derive a four-component Vlasov equation for a system composed of spin-1/2 fermions
(typically electrons). The orbital part of the motion is classical, whereas the spin degrees of …

In this paper, we discuss the connection between two alternative descriptions of the
quantum motion proposed by Wigner in 1932 and by Bohm in 1952. Such formalism …

The interpretation of the quantum mechanics proposed by de Broglie and Bohm postulates
that the time evolution of the position and the momentum of a quantum particle can be …

The nonlinear electron dynamics in metallic nanoparticles is studied using a hydrodynamic
model that incorporates most quantum many-body features, including spill-out and nonlocal …

The Wigner quasi-density function allows a phase-space formulation of statistical quantum
mechanics that is of fundamental importance in theoretical investigation and in applications …

This chapter is devoted to the derivation of k⋅ p multi-band quantum transport models, in
both the pure-state and mixed-state cases. The first part of the chapter deals with pure …

In the paper we derive a semiclassical model for surface hop** allowing quantum
dynamical nonadiabatic transition between different potential energy surfaces in which …

We investigate the lattice heating and the hot phonon effects on the charge transport in
graphene. The evolution of the charge and of the relevant optical phonon modes is …
