The nonequilibrium total dielectric function lends itself to a simple and general method for calculating the inelastic collision term in the electron Boltzmann equation for scattering from a coupled mode system. Useful applications include scattering from plasmon-polar phonon hybrid modes in modulation doped semiconductor structures. This paper presents numerical methods for including inelastic scattering at momentum-dependent hybrid phonon frequencies in the low-field Boltzmann equation for two-dimensional electrons coupled to bulk phonons. Results for electron mobility in GaAs show that the influence of mode coupling and dynamical screening on electron scattering from polar optical phonons is stronger for two dimensional electrons than was previously found for the three dimensional case.

Based on the covariant Wigner function approach we derive the quantum Boltzmann equation for fermions with flavor mixing in general curved space–time. This work gives a rigorous theoretical framework to investigate the flavor oscillation phenomena taking the gravitational effect into account. It is shown that the Boltzmann equation of the lowest order of the expansion with respect to ℏ reproduces the previous result which was derived in the relativistic limit on the Minkowski background space–time. It is demonstrated that the familiar formula for the vacuum neutrino oscillation can be obtained by solving the Boltzmann equation. Higher order effects of the ℏ-expansion are also briefly discussed.
