  1. Application of the Keldysh Formalism to Quantum Device Modeling and Analysis

    Papers | 14 Jan 2008 | Contributor(s):: Roger Lake

    The effect of inelastic scattering on quantum electron transport through layered semi-conductor structures is studied numerically using the approach based on the non-equilibrium Green's function formalism of Keldysh, Kadanoff, and Baym. The Markov assumption is not made, and the energy coordinate...

  2. Electron-Phonon and Electron-Electron Interactions in Quantum Transport

    Papers | 14 Jan 2008 | Contributor(s):: Gerhard Klimeck

    The objective of this work is to shed light on electron transport through sub-micron semi-conductor structures, where electronic state quantization, electron-electron interactions and electron-phonon interactions are important. We concentrate here on the most developed vertical quantum device,...

  3. Quantum Ballistic Transport in Semiconductor Heterostructures

    Papers | 27 Aug 2007 | Contributor(s):: Michael McLennan

    The development of epitaxial growth techniques has sparked a growing interest in an entirely quantum mechanical description of carrier transport. Fabrication methods, such as molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), allow for growth of ultra-thin layers of differing material compositions. Structures can be...

  4. Periodic Potential

    Tools | 21 Feb 2007 | Contributor(s):: Heng Li, Alexander Gavrilenko

    Calculation of the allowed and forbidden states in a periodic potential

  5. The Bardeen Transfer Hamiltonian Approach to Tunneling and its Application to STM/Carbon Nanotubes

    Online Presentations | 05 May 2004 | Contributor(s):: Peter M. Albrecht, Kyle Adam Ritter, Laura B. Ruppalt

    This presentation covers the Bardeen Transfer Hamiltonian approach to tunneling and its application to STM/carbon nanotubes.
