Monte Carlo Calculation of Correction Factors for Dosimetry in Radiotherapy Using the Correlated Sampling Method

In the present work, the correlated sampling technique in Monte Carlo calculations related to diamond dosimetry and graphite calorimetry will be described. The egs_chamber and DOSRZnrc user-codes included in the EGSnrc package are used. Egs_chamber is already provided with routines enabling the use of correlated sampling while an in-house implementation of this technique was made in the origina...

Dosimetry, scattering theory, and Monte Carlo simulation

The purpose of this paper is to provide an introduction to the physics of scattering theory, to define the dosimetric concept of linear energy transfer in terms of scattering theory, and to provide an introduction to the concepts underlying Monte Carlo simulations.

Monte Carlo Device Simulations

As semiconductor devices are scaled into nanoscale regime, first velocity saturation starts to limit the carrier mobility due to pronounced intervalley scattering, and when the device dimensions are scaled to 100 nm and below, velocity overshoot starts to dominate the device behavior leading to larger ON-state currents. Alongside with the developments in the semiconductor nanotechnology, in rec...

Efficient Monte Carlo Device Modeling

A single-particle approach to full-band Monte Carlo device simulation is presented which allows an efficient computation of drain, substrate and gate currents in deep submicron MOSFETs. In this approach, phase-space elements are visited according to the distribution of real electrons. This scheme is well adapted to a test-function evaluation of the drain current, which emphasizes regions with l...
