Nanoelectronic Device Simulation Based on the Wigner Function Formalism
Coherent transport in mesoscopic devices is well described by the Schrödinger equation supplemented by open boundary conditions. When electronic devices are operated at room temperature, however, a realistic transport model needs to include carrier scattering. In this work the kinetic equation for the Wigner function is employed as a model for dissipative quantum transport. Carrier scattering i...
متن کاملTitle: Modeling Carrier Transport in Nanoscale Semiconductor Devices
Carrier transport in modern nanoelectronic devices involves physical scales which require quantum descriptions. Basic quantum mechanics describes systems determined by Hamiltonian state vectors |Ψ>, which provide the spatial and time dependences of the physical observables. A pure state density operator |Ψ><Ψ| as obtained by a single state vector contains the most complete information about the...

1. I n t r o d u c t i o n . In this paper we shall discuss operator splitting methods to discretize the linear Wigner equation and the coupled Wigner-Poisson system. The Wigner formalism, which represents a phase-space description of quantum mechanics, has in recent years a t t racted considerable at tent ion of solid s tate physicists for including quantum effects in the simulation of ul tra-...
متن کاملشبیه سازی اثر بی نظمی و میدان مغناطیسی بر ترابرد کوانتومی نانوساختارهای دو بعدی مدل شده با تقریب تنگابست
In recent years, semiconductor nanostructures have become the model systems of choice for investigation of electrical conduction on short length scales. Quantum transport is studied in a two dimensional electron gas because of the combination of a large Fermi wavelength and large mean free path. In the present work, a numerical method is implemented in order to contribute to the understanding ...
متن کاملParticle Model of the Scattering-Induced Wigner Function Correction
The recent interest in the semiconductor device society to simulation methods which rely on the Wigner transport picture is due to the ability of the latter to account for quantum-coherent and phase-breaking processes of de-coherence due to scattering of the current carriers with phonons and other crystal lattice imperfections. In this picture the scattering can be accounted for in a straightfo...
