Abstract
According to the methods of extended thermodynamics, we find a set of balance equations for the determination of the fields m α (mass density), V α k (velocity), ε α (specific internal energy), mα <ij> (stress deviator), q α i (heat flux), E i (electric field), B i (density of magnetic flux); the index α (and every other greek index) indicates that the quantity considered is referred to the lattice (for α = 0), to electrons (for α = 1) and to holes (for α = 2). In these balance equations some constitutive functions appear; restrictions on their generality are found by imposing the entropy principle and that of material objectivity.
