Popis: The average densities of currents and charges induced by a weak electromagnetic field in spatially inhomogeneous systems at a finite temperature are calculated. The Kubo formula for the electrical conductivity tensor is generalized to spatially inhomogeneous systems and spatially inhomogeneous fields. The contributions containing electric fields and derivatives of the fields with respect to coordinates are separated. It is shown that semiconductor quantum wells, wires, and dots can be treated as spatially inhomogeneous systems.
