Atomistic Simulation of Realistically Sized Nanodevices Using NEMO 3-D—Part II: Applications
14 Jan 2008 | Publications | Contributor(s): Gerhard Klimeck, Shaikh S. Ahmed, Neerav Kharche, Marek Korkusinski, Muhammad Usman, marta prada, Timothy Boykin
In part I, the development and deployment of a general nanoelectronic modeling tool (NEMO 3-D) has been discussed. Based on the atomistic valence-force field and the sp3d5s* nearest neighbor tight-binding models, NEMO 3-D enables the computation of strain and electronic structure in nanostructures …

Electronic Structure Theory of Dilute Impurity Alloys: GaBiP and GaBiAs
28 Oct 2011 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): M. Usman
We report an atomistic model established for electronic structure calculations of GaBiAs (0 < Bi < 12%) alloys based on empirical tight binding parameters. Alloy supercells consisting of 1000 and 8000 atoms are relaxed using valence force field (VFF) method, including anharmonic corrections to the …

Excited State Spectroscopy of a Quantum Dot Molecule
16 Dec 2011 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Muhammad Usman
Atomistic electronic structure calculations are performed to study the coherent inter-dot couplings of the electronic states in a single InGaAs quantum dot molecule. The experimentally observed excitonic spectrum by Krenner et al (Phys. Rev. Lett. 94 057402, 2005) is quantitatively reproduced, and …

Nanoelectronic Modeling Lecture 32: Strain Layer Design through Quantum Dot TCAD
07 Jul 2010 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Gerhard Klimeck, Muhammad Usman
This presentation demonstrates the utilization of NEMO3D to understand complex experimental data of embedded InAs quantum dots that are selectively overgrown with a strain reducing InGaAs layer. Different alloy concentrations of the strain layer tune the optical emission and absorption wavelength …

NEMO3D User Guide for Quantum Dot Simulations
29 Nov 2011 | Publications | Contributor(s): M. Usman, Gerhard Klimeck
NEMO 3D is a large and complex simulator; and understanding of its source code requires considerable knowledge of quantum mechanics, condensed matter theory, and parallel programming.
