Abstract

A new model, based on an asymptotic procedure for solving the spinor kinetic equations of electrons and phonons is proposed, which gives naturally the displaced Fermi–Dirac distribution function at the leading order. The balance equations for the electron number, energy density and momentum, plus the Poisson’s equation, constitute now a system of six equations. Moreover, two equations for the evolution of the spin densities are added, which account for a general dispersion relation.
