3. Manual for the Generalized Bulk Monte Carlo Tool

   Teaching Materials | 24 Jun 2011 | Contributor(s):: Raghuraj Hathwar, Dragica Vasileska

   This manual describes the physics implemented behind the generalized bulk Monte Carlo tool.

4. Generalized Monte Carlo Presentation

   Teaching Materials | 20 Jun 2011 | Contributor(s):: Dragica Vasileska

   This presentation goes along with the Bulk Monte Carlo tool on the nanoHUB that calculates transients and steady-state velocity-field characteristics of arbitrary materials such as Si, Ge, GaAs, GaN, SiC, etc. The tool employs a non-parabolic bandstructure.

5. Solution of the Boltzmann Equation under low-field conditions

   Teaching Materials | 05 Feb 2011 | Contributor(s):: Dragica Vasileska

   In this presentation it is explained clearly when one can use the relaxation approximation and when one needs to use Rode's iterative method to calculate the low-field mobility in semiconductors. At the end examples are given of the effective and Hall mobilities which, as can be seen from the...

6. Acoustic Phonon Scattering Explained

   Teaching Materials | 05 Feb 2011 | Contributor(s):: Dragica Vasileska

   In this lecture notes we derive and explain acoustic deformation potential scattering as it applies to transport calculations in covalent semiconductors.

7. Boltzmann Transport Equation and Scattering Theory

   Teaching Materials | 01 Feb 2011 | Contributor(s):: Dragica Vasileska

   In this presentation we give simple derivation of the Boltzmann transport equation, describe the derivation of Fermi's Golden Rule, and present the derivation of most common scattering mechanisms in semiconductors.

8. Bulk Monte Carlo: Implementation Details and Source Codes Download

   Teaching Materials | 01 Jun 2010 | Contributor(s):: Dragica Vasileska, Stephen M. Goodnick

   The Ensemble Monte Carlo technique has been used now for over 30 years as a numerical method to simulate nonequilibrium transport in semiconductor materials and devices, and has been the subject of numerous books and reviews. In application to transport problems, a random walk is generated to...
