✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The numerical solution of the quantum Landau kinetic equation for a dense electron gas is considered. Being one of the most simple kinetic equations, it still retains essential physical features of a correlated many‐particle system, such as selfconsistent static screening and Pauli blocking, and, at the same time, it is a good test case for the efficiency of numerical methods. Two schemes for the evaluation of the scattering rates and the collision integral are discussed. To illustrate our results, we present time‐dependent calculations i) for the relaxation of a nonequilibrium electron distribution function and ii) for the stopping of fast electrons.
