A Parallel Monte Carlo Method for Electron Quantum Kinetic Equation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study a parallel Monte Carlo (MC) method for investigation of a quantum kinetic equation which accounts for the action of the electric field during the process of electron-phonon interaction. Optimization of the presented parallel algorithm is done using variance reduction techniques and parallel random sequences from the Scalable Parallel Random Number Generator (SPRNG) library. The developed code written in C is parallelized with MPI and OpenMP codes. Numerical results for the parallel efficiency of the algorithm are obtained. The dependence of the electron energy distribution on applied electric field is investigated for long evolution times. The distribution function is computed for GaAs material parameters.

In this paper we study the possibility to use the Sobol’ and Halton quasi-random number sequences (QRNs) in solving the BarkerFerry (B-F) equation which accounts for the quantum character of the electron-phonon interaction in semiconductors. The quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) solutions obtained by QRNs are compared with the Monte Carlo (MC) solutions in case when the scalable parallel random number ge...
