The optimal L^2 time convergence rate for the global classical solution is obtained for a small initial perturbation of the constant equilibrium state. It is shown that due to the electric field, the difference of the charge densities tend to the equilibrium states at the optimal rate （1 ＋ t）^-3/4 in L^2-norm, while the individual momentum of the charged particles converges at the optimal rate （1 ＋ t）^-1/4 which is slower than the rate （1 ＋ t）^-3/4 for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations （NS）. In addition, a new phenomenon on the charge transport is observed regarding the interplay between the two carriers that almost counteracts the influence of the electric field so that the total density and momentum of the two carriers converges at a faster rate （1 ＋ t）^-3/4＋ε for any small constant ε 〉 0. The above estimates reveal the essential difference between the unipolar and the bipolar Navier-Stokes-Poisson systems.展开更多
