The present work aims at formulating quantum energy-transport and drift-diffusion equations for charge transport in graphene from a quantum hydrodynamic model proposed in Luca and Romano (Ann. Phys. 406:30–53, 2019), obtained from the Wigner-Boltzmann equation via the moment method. Here, we only sketch the main ideas and show the most relevant formulas. Further developments are under current investigation by the authors. The interested reader can find the omitted details in the references. In analogy with the semiclassical case, we are confident that the energy-transport and drift-diffusion models have mathematical properties which allow an easier numerical treatment.

Abstract
The present work aims at formulating quantum energy-transport and drift-diffusion equations for charge transport in graphene from a quantum hydrodynamic model proposed in Luca and Romano (Ann.

Further developments are under current investigation by the authors. The interested reader can find the omitted details in the references. In analogy with the semiclassical case, we are confident that the energy-transport and drift-diffusion models have mathematical properties which allow an easier numerical treatment.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
