A Continuum Theory of Elastic Semiconductors with Consideration of Mobile Charge Inertia
Abstract
A set of nonlinear equations for the macroscopic theory of elastic semiconductors is derived which generalizes the seminal work of Tiersten by including the inertia of the mobile charge carriers. The equations obtained can describe carrier plasma waves and their interactions with elastic waves. Another generalization in this paper is that the internal energy densities of the mobile charges are allowed to depend on temperature in addition to charge densities. The equations are in SI units.
