Atomistic Green’s Functions: The Beauty of Self-energies

Published on
Abstract
The value of nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) implementations stands and falls with the quality of its self-energies. This presentation gives an introduction to NEGF. It will be explained how self-energies cause NEGF to fundamentally differ from most other quantum methods. Atomistic examples of phonon and impurity scattering self-energies agree quantitatively with experiments. The latest development in NEGF, the ROBIN method, overcomes notorious shortcomings of periodic boundary conditions in defect and disordered material simulations.
