Bipolar Spherical Harmonics Expansions of the Boltzmann Transport Equation
An extension of the spherical harmonics expansion method for the deterministic solution of the Boltzmann transport equation for the computation of both electron and hole distribution functions is presented. The generation and recombination of carriers via traps in the band gap is considered in a way that is consistent with the Shockley-Read-Hall model. Simulation results for a pn-diode and an n...
متن کاملOrbital Angular Momentum and Spherical Harmonics
In Notes 13, we worked out the general theory of the representations of the angular momentum operators J and the corresponding rotation operators. That theory did not make any assumptions about the kind of system upon which the angular momentum and rotation operators act, for example, whether it is a spin system or has spatial degrees of freedom, whether single particle or multiparticle, whethe...
متن کاملMatrix compression for spherical harmonics expansions of the Boltzmann transport equation for semiconductors
We investigate numerical solution schemes for the semiconductor Boltzmann transport equation using an expansion of the distribution function in spherical harmonics. A complexity analysis shows that traditional implementations using higher-order expansions suffer from huge memory requirements, especially for twoand three-dimensional devices. To overcome these complexity limitations, a compressed...

متن کاملNumerical Solution of the Boltzmann Transport Equation using Spherical Harmonics Expansions
This thesis deals with the numerical solution of the Boltzmann transport equation using an expansion of the distribution function in spherical harmonics for the purpose of electronic device simulation. Both the mathematical and physical backgrounds are discussed, then the Boltzmann transport equation is projected onto spherical harmonics without posing unnecessary restrictions on the energy ban...
