Conservation laws and solutions of a quantum drift-diffusion model for semiconductors

• A non-linear system of partial differential equations describing a quantum drift-diffusion model for semiconductor devices is investigated by methods of group analysis. An infinite number of conservation laws associated with symmetries of the model are found. These conservation laws are used for representing the system of equations under consideration in the conservation form. Exact solutions provided by the method of conservation laws are discussed. These solutions are different from invariant solutions. (C) 2015 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
