Recitation Series on nanoHUB Tools for Semiconductor Education: Session Two - ABACUS Tool Suite and Bandstructure and band models
Category: | Webinar |
---|---|
Description: | We invite you to join the second session in our Recitation Series, nanoHUB Tools for Semiconductor Education. The objective of the recitation series is to enable faculty to enhance existing or new semiconductor classes with interactive simulations. Simulations and animations can immerse students into “what if?” scenarios and engage them in more active forms of learning through homework assignments and design projects assignments. Abstract: In the second recitation session, Dr. Klimeck will give a brief overview of ABACUS and demonstrate several bandstructure tools. With these, students can explore the Standard Periodic Potential aka Kronig-Penney model as well as bandstructure formation by transmission through finite barriers. Students can change barrier heights or shapes and gain a “feeling” for the resulting shapes and effective masses of the bands. The more sophisticated bandstructure lab enables students to model standard bulk materials such as Si or GaAs in a sophisticated Tight Binding model used in NEMO5. Effects of various strain configurations can be modeled and visualized. The tool can also model the bandstructure of modern nanowires. Some of these tools are powered by NEMO5 which is now being used to design nanometer scaled transistors in industry.
TITLE: ABACUS Tool Suite and Bandstructure and band models DATE AND TIME: Thursday, August 17, 2023 from 6:00 - 6:45 PM EDT During the recitation series, Dr. Klimeck will introduce ABACUS and each of the seven tools, giving a brief tool overview, transition into working with several sample simulations/materials, share the resources for the tool from nanoHUB (including the tools and materials needed to easily integrate these resources into new and existing coursework) and wrap up each recitation with an open Q&A session. Speaker Bio: Dr. Gerhard Klimeck is a Chaired Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University; Director of the Network for Computational Nanotechnology; Reilly Director of the Center for Predictive Materials and Devices. He helped to create nanoHUB.org, the largest virtual nanotechnology user facility serving over 2.0 million global users, annually. Dr. Klimeck is a fellow of the Institute of Physics (IOP), the American Physical Society (APS), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and the German Humboldt Foundation. He has published over 525 printed scientific articles; he has been recognized for his co-invention of a single-atom transistor, quantum mechanical modeling theory, and simulation tools. His NEMO5 software has been used since 2015 at Intel to design nano-scaled design transistors. He was recently awarded a top 100 by R&D for his nanoHUB work - Making simulation and data pervasive. |
