Wigner-function formalism applied to semiconductor quantum devices: Failure of the conventional boundary condition scheme

Wigner-function formalism applied to semiconductor quantum devices: Failure of the conventional boundary condition scheme

The Wigner-function formalism is a well-known approach to model charge transport in semiconductor nanodevices. The primary goal of the present article is to point out and explain the intrinsic limitations of the conventional quantum-device modeling based on such a Wigner-function paradigm, providing a definite answer to open questions related to …
