Quantum electronic trasport in graphene: a kinetic and fluid-dynamic approach
Abstract
We derive a fluid-dynamic model for electron transport near a Dirac point in graphene. The derivation is based on the minimum entropy principle, which is exploited in order to close fluid-dynamic equations for quantum mixed states. To this aim we make two main approximations: the usual semiclassical approximation ( 1) and a new one, namely the `strongly-mixed state' approximation. Particular solutions of the fluid-dynamic equations are discussed which are of physical interest.
