Chapter 1 in Semiconductor Equations, 1990, pp 3-82 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this Chapter we shall derive and discuss transport equations, which model the flow of charge carriers in semiconductors. The common feature of these equations is that they describe the evolution of the phase space (position-momentum space) density function of the ensemble of negatively charged conduction electrons or, resp., positively charged holes, which are responsible for the current flow in semiconductor crystals.
