Multi-band Wigner function formulation of quantum transport
Description
A Wigner function representation of multi-band quantum transport theory is developed in this Letter. The equations are derived using non-equilibrium Green's function formulation with the generalized Kadanoff-Baym ansatz and the multi-band k.p Hamiltonian including spin. The results are applied to a two-band resonant inter-band tunneling structure
