Quantum correction to a Semi-classical electron-hole system to take into account inteband transition in presence of strong electric field (Landau-Zener effect).
Strong electric field can give rise transition between conduction and valence electrons.

Quantum correction to a Semi-classical electron-hole system to take into account inteband transition in presence of strong electric field (Landau-Zener effect).
L-Z effect:L-Z effect:
Semiclassical Boltzmann equations describe the inteband dynamics in the low field regions. In collisionless limit Semiclassical equation provide no transition between conduction and valence band.
Wigner Formalism for a multiband system to derive a semi-classical correction
