报告简介：

The (semi-) classical Boltzmann/Vlasov equation has become a popular tool in many fields such as semiconductor device simulation and plasma transportation. As the density of the carriers becomes extremely high or the the size of semiconductor devices becomes extremely small, the quantum effects such as, quantum tunneling, will be non-ignorable. As a quantum counterpart of the classical transport equation (the Boltzmann/Vlasov equation), the Wigner transport equation has been attract many researchers. For example, Frensley used it to successfully reproduce the negative differential resistance of resonant tunneling diodes in 1987. In this talk, I will introduce our recent results in numerical simulation and theoretical analysis on the Wigner equation. We have proposed adaptive conservative cell average spectral element methods and globally hyperbolic moment methods for the Wigner equation. However, the numerical convergence and the well-posedness of the stationary Wigner equation with inflow boundary conditions (boundary value problem, BVP) is still an open problem. We have obtained two results on the continuous BVP. First, we proved the solution is symmetric if the potential is symmetric even if the inflow data are non-symmetric (Li et al., SIAM J. Appl. Math., Vol. 74(3), 885-897, 2014). Second, we proposed a semi-discrete version of the Wigner equation and proved that the constructed numerical solution by using the Shannon-Whittaker interpolation formula converges to the solution of the continuous BVP as the velocity mesh size goes to zero.
