8 comments on screening ) Our semi-classical approach assumes that the potential is slowly varying on the scale of the electron s wavelength. For rapidly varying potentials, a more sophisticated approach is needed. (See Ashcroft and Mermin, pp for a discussion of the Lindhard theory.) 2) Our semi-classical approach also assumes that the potential is slowly in time. (See Ashcroft and Mermin, p. 344 for a brief discussion.) 3) For potentials that vary rapidly in space and time, a dynamic screening treatment is needed. (See chapter 9 in Ridley, Quantum Processes in Semiconductors, 4 th Ed. and Chapter 0 in Ridley, Electrons and Phonons in Semiconductor Multilayers.) 4) Screening is generally less effective in 2D and in D.
