Nonlocal corrections to the Boltzmann equation for dense Fermi systems

چکیده
A kinetic equation which combines the quasiparticle drift of Landau’s equation with a dissipation governed by a nonlocal and noninstant scattering integral in the spirit of Snider’s equation for gases is derived. Consequent balance equations for the density, momentum and energy include quasiparticle contributions and the second order quantum virial corrections. The medium effects on binary collisions are shown to mediate the latent heat, i.e., an energy conversion between correlation and thermal energy. An implementation to heavy ion collisions is discussed.

Quantum Corrections to Semiclassical Transport in Nanoscale Devices using Entropy Principles
We derive a modification of the semiclassical Fermi Golden Rule collision operator based on quantum thermodynamic principles. The resulting operator is nonlocal in space and acknowledges the presence of steep potential gradients and potential barriers.

متن کاملModerately dense gas quantum kinetic theory: Transport coefficient expressions
Expressions for the transport coefficients of a moderately dense gas are obtained, based on a recently derived density corrected quantum Boltzmann equation. Linearization of the equations determining the pair correlation and the ‘‘free’’ singlet density operators about local equilibrium is discussed first. The rate of change of the pair correlations is treated as dynamic effects for pairs of pa...
متن کاملNon-local kinetic simulation of heavy ion collisions
The numerical solutions of nonlocal and local Boltzmann kinetic equations for the simulation of peripheral and central heavy ion reactions are compared. The experimental finding of enhancement of mid-rapidity matter shows the necessity to include nonlocal corrections. While the in–medium cross section changes the number of collisions and not the transferred energy, the nonlocal scenario changes...
متن کاملAnalysis of a Nonlocal Poisson-Boltzmann Equation
A nonlinear, nonlocal dielectric continuum model, called the nonlocal modified PoissonBoltzmann equation (NMPBE), has been proposed to reflect the spatial-frequency dependence of dielectric permittivity in the calculation of electrostatics of ionic-solvated biomolecules. However, its analysis is difficult due to its definition involving Dirac delta distributions for modeling point charges, expo...
متن کاملQuantum Boltzmann equation study for the Kondo breakdown quantum critical point.
We develop the quantum Boltzmann equation approach for the Kondo breakdown quantum critical point, involved with two bands for conduction electrons and localized fermions. Particularly, the role of vertex corrections in transport is addressed, crucial for non-Fermi liquid transport with temperature linear dependence. Only one band of spinons may be considered for scattering with gauge fluctuati...
