Multi-Scale Asymptotic Expansion for the Schrodinger Equation and the Effective Mass Approximation
报告摘要:
In this talk, I first introduce our new theoretical results of homogenization, asymptotic expansion for Schrodinger equation and the effective mass approximation (EMA). It is well-known that , in solid state physics, the most widely used techniques to calculate the electronic levels in nanostructures are the effective mass approximation and its extension the multiband kp method. I shall give a reasonable interpretation why the effective mass approximation is a very powerful tool for calculating the band structures in semiconductor in the vicinity of point, from the mathematical viewpoint.
Second, I would like to discuss some problems about the scale gap between quantum mechanics and classical mechanics, and thermodynamic limits of Thomas-Fermi and Hartree-Fock type models. These questions are, of course, of great mathematical and physical interest.
This talk is based on the joint work with Prof. Jun-Zhi Cui, Prof. Chong-Yu Wang.
