Abstract

A Schrödinger - Poisson model describing the stationary behavior of a quantum device away from equilibrium is proposed and analyzed. In this model, current carrying scattering states of the Schrödinger equation are considered. The potential is coupled to the Schrödinger equation through the density matrix defined according to a prescribed statistics. Existence of solutions is proven. The semiclassical limit is performed via a Wigner transform which leads to the standard boundary value problem for the semiclassical Vlasov-Poisson system. Finally, a high injection asymptotics is investigated.
