Abstract
This is the first part of our series of studies concerning the full quantum hydrodynamic model for semiconductors with non-flat doping profile. In this paper, we are concerned with the existence, uniqueness and asymptotic stability of subsonic steady states to the model in a bounded interval, which is subject to physical boundary conditions. The main results are proved by Stampacchia’s truncation method, the Leray–Schauder Fixed Point Theorem, Schauder’s Fixed Point Theorem and intricate energy estimates.
Keywords
