Popis: The space- and temperature-dependent electron distribution n(r,T) determines optoelectronic properties of disordered semiconductors. It is a challenging task to get access to n(r,T) in random potentials, while avoiding the time-consuming numerical solution of the Schrödinger equation. We present several numerical techniques targeted to fulfill this task. For a degenerate system with Fermi statistics, a numerical approach based on a matrix inversion and one based on a system of linear equations are developed. For a non-degenerate system with Boltzmann statistics, a numerical technique based on a universal low-pass filter and one based on random wave functions are introduced. The high accuracy of the approximate calculations are checked by comparison with the exact quantum-mechanical solutions.
