Far from equilibrium steady states of 1D-Schrödinger-Poisson systems with quantum wells II

Abstract

This article continues the asymptotic analysis of a nonlinear Schrödinger-Poisson system which models in a far from equilibrium regime the quantum transport in electronic devices like resonant tunneling diodes. Within the reduction to an h-dependent linear problem with uniform regularity estimates for the potential already established in the first part, explicit computations of the asymptotic finite dimensional nonlinear system are derived. They rely on an accurate (phase-space) analysis of the tunnel effect which relies on some kind of Breit-Wigner formula and Fermi golden rule.
