Abstract
During the past decade, as microelectronics technology has continued to pursue the scaling down of IC device dimensions into the submicron and ultrasubmicron regions, many new and interesting questions have emerged(1) concerning the solid state dynamics and quantum transport of carriers in semiconductors subjected to rapidly varying, spatially inhomogeneous electric fields, and non-steady-state temporal conditions.
