Two Dimensional Electron Systems

Nonparabolicity effects in two-dimensional electron systems are quantitatively analyzed. A formalism has been developed which allows to incorporate a nonparabolic bulk dispersion relation into the Schrödinger equation. As a consequence of nonparabolicity the wave functions depend on the in-plane momentum. Each subband is parametrized by its energy, effective mass and a subband nonparabolicity coefficient. The formalism is implemented in a one-dimensional Schrödinger-Poisson solver which is applicable both to silicon inversion layers and heterostructures.

We propose a new semi-Lagrangian Vlasov–Poisson solver. It employs metric elements to follow locally the flow and its deformation, allowing one to find quickly and accurately the initial phase-space position $\boldsymbol{Q}(\boldsymbol{P})$ of any test particle $\boldsymbol{P}$, by expanding at second order the geometry of the motion in the vicinity of the closest element. It is thus possible to reconstruct accurately the phase-space distribution function at any time $t$ and position $\boldsymbol{P}$ by proper interpolation of initial conditions, following Liouville theorem. When distortion of the elements of metric becomes too large, it is necessary to create new initial conditions along with isotropic elements and repeat the procedure again until next resampling. To speed up the process, interpolation of the phase-space distribution is performed at second order during the transport phase, while third-order splines are used at the moments of remapping. We also show how to compute accurately the region of influence of each element of metric with the proper percolation scheme. The algorithm is tested here in the framework of one-dimensional gravitational dynamics but is implemented in such a way that it can be extended easily to four- or six-dimensional phase space. It can also be trivially generalised to plasmas.
