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.

  2. Nanoelectronic Modeling Lecture 20: NEGF in a Quasi-1D Formulation

    Online Presentations | 27 Jan 2010 | Contributor(s):: Gerhard Klimeck, Samarth Agarwal, Zhengping Jiang

    This lecture will introduce a spatial discretization scheme of the Schrödinger equation which represents a 1D heterostructure like a resonant tunneling diode with spatially varying band edges and effective masses.

  3. Nanoelectronic Modeling Lecture 19: Introduction to RTDs - Asymmetric Structures

    Online Presentations | 27 Jan 2010 | Contributor(s):: Gerhard Klimeck

    This lecture explores this effect in more detail by targeting an RTD that has a deliberate asymmetric structure. The collector barrier is chosen thicker than the emitter barrier. With this set-up we expect that the tunneling rate into the RTD from the emitter is faster than the tunneling rate...
