Abstract The present work aims at formulating quantum energy-transport and drift- diffusion equations for charge transport in graphene from a quantum hydrodynamic model proposed in [1], obtained from the Wigner-Boltzmann equation via the mo- ment method. In analogy with the semiclassical case, we are confident that the energy- transport and drift-diffusion models have mathematical properties which allow an easier numerical treatment.

A “smooth” quantum hydrodynamic (QHD) model for semiconductor devices is derived by a Chapman-Enskog expansion of the Wigner-Boltzmann equation which can handle in a mathematically rigorous way the discontinuities in the classical potential energy which occur at heterojunction barriers in quantum semiconductor devices. A dispersive quantum contribution to the heat flux term in the QHD model is introduced.

We discuss the combined semi-classical and relaxation limit of a one-dimensional isentropic quantum hydrodynamical model for semiconductors. The quantum hydrodynamic equations consist of the isentropic Euler equations for the particle density and current density, including the quantum potential and a momentum relaxation term. The momentum equation is highly nonlinear and contains a dispersive term with third-order derivatives. The equations are self-consistently coupled to the Poisson equation for the electrostatic potential. With the help of the Maxwell-type iteration, we prove that, as the relaxation time and Planck constant tend to zero, periodic initial-value problems of a scaled one-dimensional isentropic quantum hydrodynamic model have unique smooth solutions existing in the time interval where the classical drift-diffusion model has smooth solutions. Meanwhile, we justify a formal derivation of the classical drift-diffusion model from the quantum hydrodynamic model.
