Quantal Heating is effect of quantum mechanics on Joule Heating decreases conductivity occurs in electron systems with quantized spectrum does not exist in classical electron systems J.Q. Zhang, S. Vitkalov, A.A. Bykov, Phys. Rev. B 80, (2009)

Quantal Heating in the dc-domain

Why dynamics? There is a difficulty with the inelastic mechanism in MW domain: the polarization dependence seems does not agree with experiment. There is a nonlinearity related to spatial electron redistribution due to applied bias. The nonlinearity is comparable with quantal heating in SdH regime. SdH method indicates inelastic rate proportional to temperature T M.G. Blyumina, A. G. Denisov, T. A. Polyanskaya, I. G. Savel’ev, A. P. Senichkin, and Yu. V.
