Abstract |
An efficient numerical solution of the Wigner-transport equation based on the Wigner-Weyl
transformation is desirable. Unfortunately, conventional approaches suffer from different
drawbacks. On the one hand the drift operator represents a function, which oscillates strongly
due to the spatial frequency leading to high approximation errors as the Fourier integrals within
the Wigner-transport equation are not converging with respect to the Hartree-Fock potential
[1]. On the other hand so-called upwind difference methods are used for the numerical
approximation, which overestimate diffusion effects [2]. Therefore, coherent effects cannot be
described adequately and inherent errors are a consequence. Furthermore, local boundary
conditions are assumed, which neglect the non-local behavior of quantum mechanics [3].
Open boundary conditions are needed. The numerical results deviate from the results
obtained by coherent models when scattering is neglected
