The Quantum Boltzmann Equation in Semiconductor Physics
arXiv:1011.3849 · doi:10.1002/andp.201000102
Abstract
The quantum Boltzmann equation, or Fokker-Planck equation, has been used to successfully explain a number of experiments in semiconductor optics in the past two decades. This paper reviews some of the developments of this work, including models of excitons in bulk materials, electron-hole plasmas, and polariton gases.
