DYNAMICS OF A FERMI SYSTEM IN A BLACKBODY RADIATION FIELD
Eliade N. Stefanescu, Aurel Sǎndulescu · International Journal of Modern Physics E · 2002
We derive a quantum master equation for a system of fermions coupled to the blackbody radiation field through the electric-dipole interaction. This equation is of Lindblad's form, with a hamiltonian part of the shell-model, and a dissipative art with microscopic coefficients, depending on physical constants, matrix elements, and parametrically only on temperature.
