"drude" simulates, in two dimensions, the Drude model for electron transport. Trajectories of an ensemble of electrons in both real and velocity (momentum) space are displayed. A DC magnetic field may be applied perpendicular to the plane of motion and an electric field, either DC or AC, applied in the plane. The temperature of the Maxwellian equilibrium distribution and the relaxation time may also be varied. The average position and velocity of the electrons may be displayed, versus time, as graphical output.
"drude" was programmed by Joerg Draeger and Dan Vernon.
