The infinite periodic structure Kroenig Penney model is often used to introduce students to the concept of bandstructure formation. It is analytically solvable for linear potentials and shows critical elements of bandstructure formation such as core bands and different effective masses in...
Nanoelectronic Modeling Lecture 12: Open 1D Systems - Transmission through Double Barrier Structures - Resonant Tunneling
This presentation shows that double barrier structures can show unity transmission for energies BELOW the barrier height, resulting in resonant tunneling. The resonance can be associated with a quasi bound state, and the bound state can be related to a simple particle in a box calculation.
Nanoelectronic Modeling Lecture 11: Open 1D Systems - The Transfer Matrix Method
Online Presentations | 31 Dec 2009 | Contributor(s): Gerhard Klimeck, Dragica Vasileska, Samarth Agarwal, Parijat Sengupta
The transfer matrix approach is analytically exact, and “arbitrary” heterostructures can apparently be handled through the discretization of potential changes. The approach appears to be quite appealing. However, the approach is inherently unstable for realistically extended devices which exhibit...
Nanoelectronic Modeling Lecture 10: Open 1D Systems - Transmission through & over 1 Barrier
Online Presentations | 31 Dec 2009 | Contributor(s): Gerhard Klimeck, Dragica Vasileska, Samarth Agarwal
Tunneling and interference are critical in the understanding of quantum mechanical systems. The 1D time independent Schrödinger equation can be easily solved analytically in a scattering matrix approach for a system of a single potential barrier. The solution is obtained by matching wavefunction...
Nanoelectronic Modeling Lecture 09: Open 1D Systems - Reflection at and Transmission over 1 Step
Online Presentations | 25 Jan 2010 | Contributor(s): Gerhard Klimeck, Dragica Vasileska, Samarth Agarwal
One of the most elemental quantum mechanical transport problems is the solution of the time independent Schrödinger equation in a one-dimensional system where one of the two half spaces has a higher potential energy than the other. The analytical solution is readily obtained using a scattering...
Nanoelectronic Modeling Lecture 02: (NEMO) Motivation and Background
Online Presentations | 25 Jan 2010 | Contributor(s): Gerhard Klimeck, Dragica Vasileska
Fundamental device modeling on the nanometer scale must include effect of open systems, high bias, and an atomistic basis. The non-equilibrium Green Function Formalism (NEGF) can include all these components in a fundamentally sound approach and has been the basis for a few novel device...
Quantum and Thermal Effects in Nanoscale Devices
4.5 out of 5 stars
Online Presentations | 18 Sep 2008 | Contributor(s): Dragica Vasileska
To investigate lattice heating within a Monte Carlo device simulation framework, we simultaneously solve the Boltzmann transport equation for the electrons, the 2D Poisson equation to get the self-consistent fields and the hydrodynamic equations for acoustic and optical phonons. The phonon...

5.0 out of 5 stars
Online Presentations | 01 Sep 2008 | Contributor(s): Dragica Vasileska, Stephen M. Goodnick
This presentation illustrates several points. First, it is shown that in nanoscale devices there is less degradation due to heating effects due to non-stationary nature of the carrier transport (velocity overshoot) in the device, which, in turn, makes less probable the interaction with phonons....
