P.-A. Hervieux and G. Manfredi∗ Institut de Physique et Chimie des Matériaux de Strasbourg, BP 43, F-67034 Strasbourg, France (Dated: September 8, 2008) Abstract A quantum hydrodynamic (fluid) model, derived from the Wigner-Poisson equations, is used to investigate the ultrafast electron dynamics in thin metal films. The hydrodynamic equations, which include exchange and correlation effects, ca...

the aim of this research is to simulate oil spill behavior in the persian gulf due to the wind andtidal currents. this is achieved by coding an oil spill mathematical model consisting of several major submodels including hydrodynamic model, oil slick dynamic model and oil weathering model. the base of all of them is eulerian approach and they are coupled together to simulate spill incident in t...

We investigate the validity of stationary simulations for semiconductor quantum charge transport in a one-dimensional resonant tunneling diode via fluid type models. Careful numerical investigations to a quantum hydrodynamic model reveal that the transient simulations do not always converge to the steady states. In particular, growing oscillations are observed at relatively large applied voltag...

New 2-phenylpyridazinones, analogs o f 4-chloro-5-methylamino-2-phenylpyridazin-3(2H)ones, were assayed for their phytotoxic activity to interfere with plant pigment formation. Six derivatives with — SCF3, — OCF2CH FCF3, — O CH F2, — CN, or — Br in meta position o f the phenyl ring exhibited similar or better bleaching activity than the m -CF3 analog (norflurazon). The activity is predominantly...

In samples used to maintain the US resistance standard the breakdown of the dissipationless integer quantum Hall effect occurs as a series of dissipative voltage steps. A mechanism for this type of breakdown is proposed, based on the generation of magneto-excitons when the quantum Hall fluid flows past an ionised impurity above a critical velocity. The calculated generation rate gives a voltage...

In this work, we give an overview of recently derived quantum hydrodynamic and diffusion models. A quantum local equilibrium is defined as a minimizer of the quantum entropy subject to local moment constraints (such as given local mass, momentum and energy densities). These equilibria relate the thermodynamic parameters (such as the temperature or chemical potential) to the densities in a non-l...

In this paper we extend a compact surrounding-gate MOSFET model to include the hydrodynamic transport and quantum mechanical effects, and we show that it can reproduce the results of 3D numerical simulations using advanced transport models. A template device representative for the cylindrical surrounding-gate MOSFET was used to validate the model. The final compact model includes mobility degra...
