Abstract
The Boltzmann equation for electrons in semiconductors at room temperature is recovered from nonequilibrium Green's functions. Our approach eliminates gradient corrections to scattering rates, reduces "possible" collisional broadening, provides backflows, and allows one to evaluate scattering rates of two-phonon processes.Keywords
