In this paper, the asymptotic stability of smooth solutions to the multidimensional nonisentropic hydrodynamic model for semiconductors is established, under the assumption that the initial data are a small perturbation of the stationary solutions for the thermal equilibrium state, whose proofs mainly depend on the basic energy methods. §1 IntroductionThe multidimensional nonisentropic hydrodynamic model for semiconductors can be written asfor (t, x) ∈ [0, +∞) × R N , N = 2, 3. Here, n, u = (u 1 , u 2 , · · ·, u N ), T and Φ denote the electron density, the electron velocity, the electron temperature and the electrostatic potential, respectively. The coefficients τ p , τ w and κ are the momentum relaxation time, the energy relaxation time and the thermal conductivity, respectively. The positive constant T 0 is the lattice temperature of semiconductor device. The function b(x) stands for the density of fixed, positively charged background ions. The total energy W has the relationwhere e is the specific internal energy. In fact, we handle with the polytropic gas case, that is,
