Hydrodynamical Model for Charge Transport in Graphene

A hydrodynamical model for simulating charge transport in graphene is formulated by using of the maximum entropy principle. Both electrons in the conduction band and holes in the valence band are considered and it is assumed a linear dispersion relation for the energy bands around the equivalent Dirac points. The closure relations do not contain any fitting parameters except the ones already present in the kinetic description. © 2014 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
