A Hydrodynamic Model for Silicon Nanowires Based on the Maximum Entropy Principle
Silicon nanowires (SiNW) are quasi-one-dimensional structures in which the electrons are spatially confined in two directions, and they are free to move along the axis of the wire. The spatial confinement is governed by the Schrödinger–Poisson system, which must be coupled to the transport in the fr...
