Quantum Euler-Poisson systems: Existence of stationary states

Ansgar Jüngel, Hailiang Li (2004)

Archivum Mathematicum

A one-dimensional quantum Euler-Poisson system for semiconductors for the electron density and the electrostatic potential in bounded intervals is considered. The existence and uniqueness of strong solutions with positive electron density is shown for quite general (possibly non-convex or non-monotone) pressure-density functions under a “subsonic” condition, i.e. assuming sufficiently small current densities. The proof is based on a reformulation of the dispersive third-order equation for the electron...

Quantum graph spectra of a graphyne structure

Ngoc T. Do, Peter Kuchment (2013)

Nanoscale Systems: Mathematical Modeling, Theory and Applications

We study the dispersion relations and spectra of invariant Schrödinger operators on a graphyne structure (lithographite). In particular, description of different parts of the spectrum, band-gap structure, and Dirac points are provided.

Quenched limits for transient, ballistic, sub-gaussian one-dimensional random walk in random environment

Jonathon Peterson (2009)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

We consider a nearest-neighbor, one-dimensional random walk {Xn}n≥0 in a random i.i.d. environment, in the regime where the walk is transient with speed vP>0 and there exists an s∈(1, 2) such that the annealed law of n−1/s(Xn−nvP) converges to a stable law of parameter s. Under the quenched law (i.e., conditioned on the environment), we show that no limit laws are possible. In particular we show that there exist sequences {tk} and {tk'} depending on the environment only, such that a quenched...

Random hysteresis loops

Gioia Carinci (2013)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Dynamical hysteresis is a phenomenon which arises in ferromagnetic systems below the critical temperature as a response to adiabatic variations of the external magnetic field. We study the problem in the context of the mean-field Ising model with Glauber dynamics, proving that for frequencies of the magnetic field oscillations of order N - 2 / 3 , N the size of the system, the “critical” hysteresis loop becomes random.

Reduced resistive MHD in Tokamaks with general density

Bruno Després, Rémy Sart (2012)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

The aim of this paper is to derive a general model for reduced viscous and resistive Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and to study its mathematical structure. The model is established for arbitrary density profiles in the poloidal section of the toroidal geometry of Tokamaks. The existence of global weak solutions, on the one hand, and the stability of the fundamental mode around initial data, on the other hand, are investigated.

Relaxation-time limits of global solutions in full quantum hydrodynamic model for semiconductors

Sungjin Ra, Hakho Hong (2024)

Applications of Mathematics

This paper is concerned with the global well-posedness and relaxation-time limits for the solutions in the full quantum hydrodynamic model, which can be used to analyze the thermal and quantum influences on the transport of carriers in semiconductor devices. For the Cauchy problem in 3 , we prove the global existence, uniqueness and exponential decay estimate of smooth solutions, when the initial data are small perturbations of an equilibrium state. Moreover, we show that the solutions converge into...
