  1. FDNS21: Disorder and Defects in van der Waals Heterostructures

    11 May 2021 | | Contributor(s):: Daniel A Rhodes

  2. Disordered Photonics

    11 Apr 2014 | | Contributor(s):: Hui Cao

    Most of the research in the field of photonics has focused on understanding and mitigating the effects of disorder which are often detrimental. For certain applications, however, intentionally introducing disorder can actually improve the device performance, e.g., in photovoltaics optical...

  8. Valley splitting in strained silicon quantum wells modeled with 2 degree miscuts, step disorder, and alloy disorder

    14 Jan 2008 | | Contributor(s):: Neerav Kharche, marta prada, Timothy Boykin, Gerhard Klimeck

    Valley splitting (VS) in strained SiGe/Si/SiGe quantum wells grown on (001) and 2° miscut substrates is computed in a magnetic field. Calculations of flat structures significantly overestimate, while calculations of perfectly ordered structures underestimate experimentally observed VS. Step...

  9. Development of a Nanoelectronic 3-D (NEMO 3-D ) Simulator for Multimillion Atom Simulations and Its Application to Alloyed Quantum Dots

    14 Jan 2008 | | Contributor(s):: Gerhard Klimeck, Timothy Boykin

    Material layers with a thickness of a few nanometers are common-place in today’s semiconductordevices. Before long, device fabrication methods will reach a point at which the other two devicedimensions are scaled down to few tens of nanometers. The total atom count in such deca-nanodevices is...
