For the scaling lengths under consideration, the lowest resonator mode is in the frequency range of 1\char21{}10 GHz. In this range, it is found that the beam thermal environment routinely exceeds the limits of validity for the local temperature approximation; this is due to sharp inhomogeneities in strain pattern across the thin beam cross sections induced by flexural motion as opposed to the often assumed temporal dynamics of high frequency operation. In a Euler-Bernoulli-Boltzmann framework, an analysis of the internal phonon flow in the flexural beam is conducted, and dissipative losses are evaluated. The complexity of the microscopic phonon dynamics is delineated and strategically graphed in terms of the parameters characterizing the flexural beam and the phonon system therein. In limiting cases, two major intrinsic dissipative mechanisms are operative, one due to the diffusive spatial redistribution of phonons resulting in heat transfer and thermoelastic loss, and the other due to thermalization of the local phonon population distorted by strain resulting in the manifestation of the Akhiezer effect. In the frequency domain of interest, these two loss mechanisms lose their distinctive character with decreased spatial scaling and transition to a unified dissipative process governed by the ballistic phonon transfer across the beam.}, number={20}, journal={PHYSICAL REVIEW B}, author={Kiselev, A.

The derivation of the transport equation makes use of a unitary transformation of the Liouville equation based on the interaction picture to a form in which the scattering interaction appears quadratically, and utilizes accelerated Bloch states as basis states; the resulting generalized drift and diffusion terms are obtained exactly for an arbitrary band structure. In taking the limit of slowly varying inhomogeneous electric field and slowly varying scatterer density distribution, a quantum generalization of the Boltzmann-like Wigner transport equation is obtained which includes impurity-related intracollisional field effects in the collision term and a drift term comprising the total force due to both the homogeneous and inhomogeneous fields.}, number={19}, journal={PHYSICAL REVIEW B}, author={Krieger, JB and Kiselev, AA and Iafrate, GJ}, year={2005}, month={Nov} } @article{barry_kiselev_kim_2003, title={Electron spin relaxation under drift in GaAs}, volume={82}, ISSN={0003-6951 1077-3118}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1578180}, DOI={10.1063/1.1578180}, abstractNote={Based on a Monte Carlo method, we investigate the influence of transport conditions on the electron spin relaxation in GaAs.

However, it is also found that the spin relaxation rate increases rapidly with the drift field, scaling as the square of the electron wave vector in the direction of the field. When the electrons are injected with a high energy, a pronounced decrease is observed in the spin relaxation length due to an initial increase in the spin precession frequency.
