Abstract

We present a kinetic transport model for hot electrons and hot phonons in metallic single-wall carbon nanotubes. The transport model is based on a coupled system of Boltzmann equations of linearly dispersive electrons and optical phonons. An efficient and accurate deterministic numerical scheme is developed to solve the set of kinetic equations. With this numerical tool we study in detail the ...
