نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces ElecTra, an open-source code which solves the linearized Boltzmann transport equation in relaxation time approximation for charge carriers a full-band electronic structure of arbitrary complexity, including their energy, momentum, and band-index dependence. ElecTra stands 'ELECtronic TRAnsport' computes thermoelectric coefficients electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, thermal mobility, semiconductor materials, both unipolar bipolar (small bandgap) materials. The uses computed full-bands relevant scattering parameters as inputs considers single crystal materials 3D 2D. present version (v1) considers: i) elastic with acoustic phonons inelastic non-polar optical deformation potential approximation, ii) polar phonons, iii) ionized dopants, iv) alloy scattering. user is given option intra- inter-valley considerations. simulation output also includes times mean-free-paths. quantities are function Fermi level position, doping density, temperature. can interface any DFT saves '.bxsf' format. In this validated against ideal situations known analytical solutions, existing codes employing constant well experimentally well-assessed such Si, Ge, SiGe, GaAs.

Electronic correlation and transport properties of nuclear fuel materials
The electronic structures and transport properties of a series of actinide monocarbides, mononitrides, and dioxides are studied systematically using a combination of density-functional theory and dynamical mean-field theory. The studied materials present different electronic correlation strength and degree of localization of 5f electrons, where a metal-insulator boundary naturally lies within. ...

DOI: 10.1002/adma.201101129 Percolation theory or hopping theory, used to describe the electronic behavior of devices, is very popular in the chemistrydominated research area of organic electronics. The reason is that chemists think in units (“moieties”) such as the phenyl ring in a polymer, with specifi c energy levels (for instance the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) and highest oc...
