Linear Boltzmann equation as the long time dynamics of an electron weakly coupled to a phonon field
Linear Boltzmann equation as the long time dynamics of an electron weakly coupled to a phonon field Abstract We consider the long time evolution of a quantum particle weakly interacting with a phonon field. We show that in the weak coupling limit the Wigner distribution of the electron density matrix converges to the solution of the linear Boltzmann equation globally in time. The collision kern...
متن کاملTotal dielectric function approach to the electron Boltzmann equation for scattering from a two-dimensional coupled mode system
The nonequilibrium total dielectric function lends itself to a simple and general method for calculating the inelastic collision term in the electron Boltzmann equation for scattering from a coupled mode system. Useful applications include scattering from plasmon-polar phonon hybrid modes in modulation doped semiconductor structures. This paper presents numerical methods for including inelastic...
متن کاملThe Phonon Boltzmann Equation, Properties and Link to Weakly Anharmonic Lattice Dynamics
For low density gases the validity of the Boltzmann transport equation is well established. The central object is the one-particle distribution function, f , which in the Boltzmann-Grad limit satisfies the Boltzmann equation. Grad and, much refined, Cercignani argue for the existence of this limit on the basis of the BBGKY hierarchy for hard spheres. At least for a short kinetic time span, the ...
متن کاملDynamics of a Strongly Coupled Polaron
Abstract. We study the dynamics of large polarons described by the Fröhlich Hamiltonian in the limit of strong coupling. The initial conditions are (perturbations of) product states of an electron wave function and a phonon coherent state, as suggested by Pekar. We show that, to leading order on the natural time scale of the problem, the phonon field is stationary and the electron moves accordi...
متن کاملDerivation of an Effective Evolution Equation for a Strongly Coupled Polaron
1.1. Setting of the problem. In this paper we are interested in the dynamics of a strongly coupled polaron. A polaron is a model of an electron in an ionic lattice interacting with its surrounding polarization field. In 1937 Fröhlich [8] proposed a quantum-mechanical Hamiltonian, given in (1.1) below, in order to describe the dynamics of a polaron. In this model the phonon field is treated as a...
