Abstract

Charge transport phenomena can been tackled in silicon quantum wires using a subband hydrodynamic model. This has been formulated by closing the moment system derived from the Schödinger-Poisson-Boltzmann equations on the basis of the Maximum Entropy Principle. The model can be used to deal with thermoelectric effects in Local equilibrium and off-equilibrium regimes.
