The steady-state diffusive interaction between perfectly absorbing uncharged sinks is investigated. The general solution of the relevant boundary-value problem for the multipole approximation has been derived. Some regular arrays of sinks have been considered in detail using the monopole approximati

β¦ Synopsis
The time-dependent diffusive interaction in systems of neutral immobile three-dimensional sinks is treated. The critical spatial and temporal values defining the the strength of the diffusion interaction in one-, two-and three-dimensional arrays of sinks are established. It is shown that in large but finite arrays immersed in the medium with diffusing particles the bulk concentration of the latter decays slower than predicted by the classical kinetics law. Moreover, it is shown that the classical kinetics law results from the diffusive interaction between the sinks. In finite systems the relaxation rate is time-dependent due to competition between the sinks. An explanation for the difference in concentration dependence of the rate constant in random and periodic infinite arrays of sinks is proposed using an analogy with the phase transitions of the second kind.

In this paper, we study the global behavior of the time-dependent drift-diffusion model for semiconductor devices. Under certain assumptions on the mobilities, we first prove the existence of the global weak solutions with uniform \(L^{*}\) bounds. Then we show that the system, when considered as a
