Analysis of electron transport in a two-dimensional structure using quantal trajectories

• Ballistic and dissipative electron transport through a two-dimensional geometry is studied in the de Broglie-Bohm quantal trajectory model. The dissipative effect, incorporated to simulate inelastic scattering, is introduced via an imaginary potential term in the Hamiltonian. The relation between the conductance and the local behaviour of the quantal trajectories is discussed. The vortex-like structure of the de Broglie-Bohm trajectories in the vicinity of wavefunction nodes is studied.
