Hot Brownian carriers in the Langevin picture: Application to a simple model for the Gunn effect in GaAs

Abstract: We consider a charged Brownian gas under the influence of external, static and uniform electric and magnetic fields, immersed in a uniform bath temperature. We obtain the solution for the associated Langevin equation, and thereafter the evolution of the nonequilibrium temperature towards a nonequilibrium (hot) steady state. We apply our results to a simple yet relevant Brownian model for carrier transport in GaAs. We obtain a negative differential conductivity regime (Gunn effect) and discuss and compare our r… Show more

“…In 2010, information entropy production and entropy flux of Brownian particle motion in multidimension phase space was studied [28]. Lagos and Simões [13] studied a Brownian gas composed of charged particles in the presence of external fields using the Kramers and Smoluchowski equations, and Bauke [14] studied Brownian model for carrier transport in GaAs based on the Langevin equation. In these studies, Brownian motion was considered as a Markovian process.…”
