The Quantum Statistical Mechanical Theory of Transport Processes
A new derivation of the quantum Boltzmann transport equation for the Fermion system from the quantum time evolution equation for the wigner distribution function is presented. The method exhibits the origin of the time - irreversibility of the Boltzmann equation. In the present work, the spin dependent and indistinguishibility of particles are also considered.
متن کاملDiffusion quantum Monte Carlo study of three-dimensional Wigner crystals
We report diffusion quantum Monte Carlo calculations of three-dimensional Wigner crystals in the density range rs5100–150. We have tested different types of orbital for use in the approximate wave functions but none improve upon the simple Gaussian form. The Gaussian exponents are optimized by directly minimizing the diffusion quantum Monte Carlo energy. We have carefully investigated and sough...
متن کاملNovel attractive force between ions in quantum plasmas.
We report a new attractive force between ions that are shielded by degenerate electrons in quantum plasmas. Specifically, we show that the electric potential around an isolated ion has a hard core negative part that resembles the Lennard-Jones-type potential. Physically, the new electric potential is attributed to the consideration of the quantum statistical pressure and the quantum Bohm potent...
متن کاملGround state structure and interactions between dimeric 2 D Wigner crystals
– We study the ground state ordering and interaction between two-dimensional Wigner crystals on neutralizing charged plates by means of computer simulation. We consider crystals formed by (i) point-like charges and (ii) charged dimers, which mimic the screening of charged surfaces by elongated multivalent ions such as dumbbell-shaped globular proteins, charged dendrimers or short stiff polyelec...
متن کاملAsymptotic Analysis of the Quantum Dynamics in Crystals: The Bloch-Wigner Transform, Bloch Dynamics and Berry Phase
We study the semi-classical limit of the Schrödinger equation in a crystal in the presence of an external potential and magnetic field. We first introduce the Bloch-Wigner transform and derive the asymptotic equations governing this transform in the semi-classical setting. For the second part, we focus on the appearance of the Berry curvature terms in the asymptotic equations. These terms play ...
