1305.6527 (Carlo Jacoboni et al.)

Wigner transport equation with finite coherence length    [PDF]

Carlo Jacoboni, Paolo Bordone
The use of the Wigner function for the study of quantum transport in open systems present severe criticisms. Some of the problems arise from the assumption of infinite coherence length of the electron dynamics outside the system of interest. In the present work the theory of the Wigner function is revised assuming a finite coherence length. A new dynamical equation is found, corresponding to move the Wigner momentum off the real axis, and a numerical analysis is performed for the case of study of the onedimensional potential barrier.
