This video shows the simulation and analysis of a nanowire using OMEN Nanowire. Several powerful analytic features of this tool are demonstrated, including the following:

• variation of wire geometry
• current-voltage plots
• spatial variation of electron density along the wire and change in density in the gate region as the applied gate bias changes
• composite plot showing the band structure in the wire contacts and the change in transmission as the applied gate bias changes
• change in the 3D density of states as the applied gate bias changes
• change in current density and transmission as the applied gate bias changes
• change in the 3D electron density, showing electrons entering the gate region as the applied gate bias increases, pushing down the potential barrier
