    Discretization scheme for drift-diffusion equations with a generalized Einstein relation
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2012) Koprucki, Thomas; Gärtner, Klaus
    Inspired by organic semiconductor models based on hopping transport introducing Gauss-Fermi integrals a nonlinear generalization of the classical Scharfetter-Gummel scheme is derived for the distribution function F(n)=1/(exp(-n)+y). This function provides an approximation of the Fermi-Dirac integrals of different order and restricted argument ranges. The scheme requires the solution of a nonlinear equation per edge and continuity equation to calculate the edge currents. In the current formula the density-dependent diffusion enhancement factor, resulting from the generalized Einstein relation, shows up as a weighting factor. Additionally the current modifies the argument of the Bernoulli functions
