Using ensemble Monte Carlo methods to evaluate non-equilibrium Green’s functions, II. Polar-optical phonons

Abstract In semi-classical transport, it has become common practice over the past few decades to use ensemble Monte Carlo methods for simulation of transport in semiconductor devices. This method utilizes particles while still addressing full physics within device, leaving computational difficulties computer. More recently, study quantum mechanical effects devices, have important, and been addressed devices using non-equilibrium Green’s functions (NEGF). NEGF, one faces considerable difficulties. Recently, a particle approach NEGF suggested preliminary results presented non-polar optical phonons Si, which are very localized scattering centers. Here, problems with long-range polar-optical discussed particle-based used examine InN at 300 K.
