An existence result for a class of electrothermal drift-diffusion models with Gauss–Fermi statistics for organic semiconductors

This work is concerned with the analysis of a drift-diffusion model for the electrothermal behavior of organic semiconductor devices. A “generalized Van Roosbroeck” system coupled to the heat equation is employed, where the former consists of continuity equations for electrons and holes and a Poisson equation for the electrostatic potential, and the latter features source terms containing Joule heat contributions and recombination heat. Special features of organic semiconductors like Gauss–Fermi statistics and mobility functions depending on the electric field strength are taken into account. We prove the existence of solutions for the stationary problem by an iteration scheme and Schauder’s fixed point theorem. The underlying solution concept is related to weak solutions of the Van Roosbroeck system and entropy solutions of the heat equation. Additionally, for data compatible with thermodynamic equilibrium, the uniqueness of the solution is verified. It was recently shown that self-heating significantly influences the electronic properties of organic semiconductor devices. Therefore, modeling the coupled electric and thermal responses of organic semiconductors is essential for predicting the effects of temperature on the overall behavior of the device. This work puts the electrothermal drift-diffusion model for organic semiconductors on a sound analytical basis.

Finite temperature behaviors of q-deformed Fermi gases

During the last three decades, nonstandard statistics for indistinguishable quantum particles has attracted wide attention and research interests from many institutions. Among these new types of statistics, the [Formula: see text]-deformed Bose and Fermi statistics, originated from the study of quantum algebra, are being applied in more and more physical systems. In this paper, we construct a [Formula: see text]-deformed generalization of the BCS-Leggett theory for ultracold Fermi gases based on our previously constructed [Formula: see text]-deformed BCS theory. Some interesting features of this [Formula: see text]-deformed interacting quantum gas are obtained by numerical analysis. For example, in the ordinary Bose–Einstein Condensation regime, the gas presents a fermionic feature instead of bosonic feature if the deformation parameter is tuned suitably, which might be referred to as the [Formula: see text]-induced “Bose–Fermi” crossover. Conversely, a weak sign of the “Fermi–Bose” crossover is also found in the ordinary weak fermionic regime.

q-deformed Einstein equations from entropic force

In this study, we investigate the influences of fermionic q-deformation on the Einstein equations by taking into account of Verlinde’s entropic gravity approach and Strominger’s proposal on quantum black holes. According to Verlinde’s proposal, gravity is interpreted as an entropic force. Moreover, Strominger’s suggestion claims that extremal black holes obey deformed statistics instead of the standard Bose or Fermi statistics. Inspired by Verlinde’s and Strominger’s suggestions, we represent some thermostatistical functions of VPJC-type q-deformed fermion gas model for the high-temperature limit. Applying the Verlinde’s entropic gravity approach to the q-deformed entropy function, q-deformed Einstein equations with the effective cosmological constant are derived. The results obtained in this work are compared with the related works in the literature.

Four revolutions in physics and the second quantum revolution — A unification of force and matter by quantum information

Newton’s mechanical revolution unifies the motion of planets in the sky and the falling of apples on Earth. Maxwell’s electromagnetic revolution unifies electricity, magnetism, and light. Einstein’s relativistic revolution unifies space with time, and gravity with space–time distortion. The quantum revolution unifies particle with waves, and energy with frequency. Each of those revolution changes our world view. In this article, we will describe a revolution that is happening now: the second quantum revolution which unifies matter/space with information. In other words, the new world view suggests that elementary particles (the bosonic force particles and fermionic matter particles) all originated from quantum information (qubits): they are collective excitations of an entangled qubit ocean that corresponds to our space. The beautiful geometric Yang–Mills gauge theory and the strange Fermi statistics of matter particles now have a common algebraic quantum informational origin.

About one decision of the quasiclassical kinetic equation

It has been proved that the solution of the quasi-classical kinetic equation for Bose and Fermi statistics can be represented in the general form, using the relaxation time approximation. The general solution found for the distribution function helps calculate any non – equilibrium characteristics of metals, magnets, and dielectrics in any order of the perturbation theory according to the relaxation time .
