Periodic Potentials and Bandstructure: an Exercise
Teaching Materials | 02 Jul 2008 | Contributor(s):: Dragica Vasileska, Gerhard Klimeck
This exercise teaches the students that in the case of strong coupling between the neighboring wells in square and Coulomb periodic potential wells electrons start to behave as free electrons and the gaps that open at the Brillouin zone boundaries become smaller and smaller (thus recovering the...

Computational Nanoscience, Lecture 4: Geometry Optimization and Seeing What You're Doing
Teaching Materials | 13 Feb 2008 | Contributor(s):: Jeffrey C Grossman, Elif Ertekin
In this lecture, we discuss various methods for finding the ground state structure of a given system by minimizing its energy. Derivative and non-derivative methods are discussed, as well as the importance of the starting guess and how to find or generate good initial structures. We also briefly...

Homework Assignment: Periodic Potentials
Teaching Materials | 31 Jan 2008 | Contributor(s):: David K. Ferry
Using the Periodic Potential Lab on nanoHUB determine the allowed bands for an energy barrier of 5 eV, a periodicity W = 0.5nm, and a barrier thickness of 0.1nm. How do these bands change if the barrier thickness is changed to 0.2 nm?

Semiconductor Device Education Material
Teaching Materials | 28 Jan 2008 | Contributor(s):: Gerhard Klimeck
This page has moved to "a Wiki page format" When we hear the words, semiconductor device, we may think first of the transistors in PCs or video game consoles, but transistors are the basic component in all of the electronic devices we use in our daily lives. Electronic systems are...
