Exact and numerical solutions to a Mindlin microcontinuum model
Armando Majorana, Rita Tracinà
In this paper we consider a one-dimensional Mindlin model describing linear elastic behaviour of isotropic materials with micro-structural effects. After introducing the kinetic an…
A BGK model for charge transport in graphene
Armando Majorana
The Boltzmann equation describes the detailed microscopic behaviour of a dilute gas, and represents the basis of the kinetic theory of gases. In order to reduce the difficulties in…
A semi-discrete Boltzmann equation based on a finite volume scheme
Armando Majorana
In this work we consider the classical non-linear Boltzmann equation, where the unknown is the distribution function , which depends on the time , the vector (th…
High Field Mobility and Diffusivity of Electron Gas in Silicon Devices
S. F. Liotta, A. Majorana
In this paper the Boltzmann equation describing the carrier transport in a semiconductor is considered. A modified Chapman-Enskog method is used, in order to find approximate solut…
A Novel Approach to Spherical Harmonics Expansion for Electron Transport in Semiconductors
S. F. Liotta, A. Majorana
A set of equations is derived from the Boltzmann kinetic equation describing charge transport in semiconductors. The unknowns of these equations depend on the space-time coordinate…
