Abstract

The effect of a spatially varying effective mass as encountered in heterostructure devices is shown to lead to classical and quantum corrections to the description of transport. The quantum potential corrections for pure states and the corrections to Quantum Monte Carlo for mixed states are derived using the Wigner formalism. The application to SiGe graded structures is shown to lead to additional corrections, which are of the same order as the conventional density gradient corrections.
