Multidimensional spherical harmonics expansion of Boltzmann equation for transport in semiconductors

Abstract A spherical harmonics expansion method of the Boltzmann Transport Equation (BTE) in the three-dimensional space is proposed. The method is quite general in terms of scattering matrix and band structure. We show a numerical application to a two-dimensional p-n junction.
