Bounded Weak Solutions

The global-in-time existence and uniqueness of bounded weak solutions to a spinorial matrix drift–diffusion model for semiconductors is proved. Developing the electron density matrix in the Pauli basis, the coefficients (charge density and spin-vector density) satisfy a parabolic 4 × 4 cross-diffusion system. The key idea of the existence proof is to work with different variables: the spin-up and spin-down densities as well as the parallel and perpendicular components of the spin-vector density with respect to the precession vector. In these variables, the diffusion matrix becomes diagonal. The proofs of the L∞ estimates are based on Stampacchia truncation as well as Moser- and Alikakos-type iteration arguments. The monotonicity of the entropy (or free energy) is also proved. Numerical experiments in one-space dimension using a finite-volume discretization indicate that the entropy decays exponentially fast to the equilibrium state.

We consider the drift-diffusion model with avalanche generation for evolution in time of electron and hole densitiesn,pcoupled with the electrostatic potentialψin a semiconductor device. We also assume that the diffusion term is degenerate. The existence of local weak solutions to this Dirichlet-Neumann mixed boundary value problem is obtained.
