Quantum mechanical effects in continuum charge flow models

This paper concerns mathematical modelling of charge transport across a thin poorly conducting layer between two electrodes. We describe and analyse two alternative approaches to model quantum effects within a continuum theory: the Density Gradient Confinement (DGC) and Density Gradient Tunnelling (...
