摘要：

Heat generation for collisionless Ohmic electric conductance in quantum semiconductor microstructures joining two classical reservoirs is investigated. Spatial distribution of the heat generated by current through a semiconductor microstructure is calculated. The heat is spread over the length of electron mean free path in the reservoirs. We find that the amount of heat generated per second in both reservoirs that are joined by the nanostructure is the same.
