研究目的
Establishing uniform-in-time upper and lower bounds for approximate solutions of the Van Roosbroeck’s drift–diffusion system using a backward Euler in time and finite volume in space discretization with Scharfetter–Gummel fluxes.
研究成果
The paper proves the existence of solutions to the numerical scheme without time step restrictions and establishes uniform-in-time upper and lower bounds for approximate densities. These bounds are independent of discretization size and ensure exponential decay towards thermal equilibrium, as supported by numerical experiments illustrating the dependence on doping profiles and Debye length.
研究不足
The analysis assumes specific hypotheses (H1-H5) on data regularity and mesh properties. The method is limited to linear drift–diffusion systems with Boltzmann statistics; extensions to nonlinear cases or other statistics are not covered. The time step is constrained to Δt ≤ 1 in some parts, and numerical implementation may face stiffness issues for small Debye lengths.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs a numerical scheme combining backward Euler time discretization and finite volume space discretization with Scharfetter–Gummel fluxes to approximate the drift–diffusion system. Theoretical analysis is used to prove existence and bounds without physical experiments.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The domain is an open bounded subset of R^d (d=2,3) with polygonal/polyhedral geometry. Initial and boundary conditions are discretized using averages over control volumes and edges.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
No physical equipment is used; the work is purely theoretical and computational. Numerical simulations are mentioned in Section 4 for illustration.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The scheme is defined by equations (9)-(17). Existence is proven via a topological degree argument, and bounds are derived using Moser iteration techniques and discrete energy estimates.
