2010 NCN@Purdue Summer School: Electronics from the Bottom Up

In This Workshop

  1. Nanoelectronic Devices, With an Introduction to Spintronics

    Courses | 09 Sep 2010 | Contributor(s): Supriyo Datta, Mark Lundstrom

        Nanoelectronic devices are at the heart of today's powerful computers and are also of great interest for many emerging applications including energy conversion, sensing and alternative computing paradigms. Our objective, however, is not to discuss specific devices or...

  2. Tutorial 3: Materials Simulation by First-Principles Density Functional Theory

    Courses | 14 Sep 2010 | Contributor(s): Umesh V. Waghmare

    This two-part lecture will provide an introduction to first-principles density functional theory based methods for simulation of materials, with a focus on determination of interatomic force constants and vibrational spectra of nano- structures and extended periodic materials.

  3. Additional Tutorials on Selected Topics in Nanotechnology

    Workshops | 29 Mar 2011 | Contributor(s): Gerhard Klimeck, Umesh V. Waghmare, Timothy S Fisher, N. S. Vidhyadhiraja

    Select tutorials in nanotechnology, a part of the 2010 NCN@Purdue Summer School: Electronics from the Bottom Up.

  4. Tutorial 4: Far-From-Equilibrium Quantum Transport

    Courses | 29 Mar 2011 | Contributor(s): Gerhard Klimeck

    These lectures focus on the application of the theories using the nanoelectronic modeling tools NEMO 1- D, NEMO 3-D, and OMEN to realistically extended devices. Topics to be covered are realistic resonant tunneling diodes, quantum dots, nanowires, and Ultra-Thin-Body Transistors.
