A Proposal for a New Method of Modeling of the Quantum Dot Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers

With the advancement of nanoscale semiconductor technology,semiconductor optical amplifiers are used to amplify and process all-optical signals. Inthis paper, with the aim of calculating the gain of quantum dot semiconductor opticalamplifier (QD-SOA), two groups of rate equations and the optical signal propagatingequation are used in the active layer of the device. For t...

Quantum current modeling in nano-transistors with a quantum dot

Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) serve as a new class of ‘zero dimensional’ nanomaterial’s in thecarbon class with sizes below 10 nm. As light emitting nanocrystals, QDs are assembled from semiconductormaterials, from the elements in the periodic groups of II-VI, III-V or IV-VI, mainly thanks to impacts of quantum confinement QDs have unique optical properties such as brighter, highly pho...

Modeling and Simulation of Strained Quantum Wells in Semiconductor Lasers

Amodel allowing for efficiently obtaining band structure information on semiconductor Quantum Well structures will be demonstrated which is based on matrix-valued kp-Schrödinger operators. Effects such as confinement, band mixing, spin-orbit interaction and strain can be treated consistently. The impact of prominent Coulomb effects can be calculated by including the Hartree interaction via the ...

A ComputerProgram for Modeling Large Deformation Nonlinear and Transient problems in Geotechnical Engineering

CA2 (Continuum Analysis, 2- dimensional) is a computer program developed by the author. CA2 can solve a variety of complex geotechnical problems using explicit finite difference method. In this paper, an introduction will be given to the theoretical and numerical basis of the program and the capability of the code will be shown by solving a few interesting nonlinear and transient problems.
