Description

The non-equilibrium Greens function (NEGF) formalism provides a powerful conceptual and computational framework for treating quantum transport in nanodevices. It goes beyond the Landauer approach for ballistic, non-interacting electronics to include inelastic scattering and strong correlation effects at an atomistic level.

Courses (1-7 of 7)

  1. 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.

  2. Nanoelectronic Modeling: From Quantum Mechanics and Atoms to Realistic Devices

    Courses | 25 Jan 2010 | Contributor(s):: Gerhard Klimeck

    The goal of this series of lectures is to explain the critical concepts in the understanding of the state-of-the-art modeling of nanoelectronic devices such as resonant tunneling diodes, quantum wells, quantum dots, nanowires, and ultra-scaled transistors. Three fundamental concepts critical to...

  3. Colloquium on Graphene Physics and Devices

    Courses | 22 Sep 2009 | Contributor(s):: Joerg Appenzeller, Supriyo Datta, Mark Lundstrom

    This short course introduces students to graphene as a fascinating research topic as well as to develop their skill in problem solving using the tools and techniques of electronics from the bottom up.

  4. Nanoelectronics and the Meaning of Resistance

    Courses | 20 Aug 2008 | Contributor(s):: Supriyo Datta

    The purpose of this series of lectures is to introduce the "bottom-up" approach to nanoelectronics using concrete examples. No prior knowledge of quantum mechanics or statistical mechanics is assumed; however, familiarity with matrix algebra will be helpful for some topics. Day 1: What...

  5. CQT: Concepts of Quantum Transport

    Courses | 30 Nov 2006 | Contributor(s):: Supriyo Datta

    Note: For an expanded version of these lectures see Datta's 2008 NCN@Purdue Summer School presentations on Nanoelectronics and the Meaning of Resistance. How does the resistance of a conductor change as we shrink its length all the way down to a few atoms? This is a question that...
