nanoHUB - Educational Tour de Force
Online Presentations | 14 Jan 2016 | Contributor(s): David K. Ferry
nanoHUB was originally created to bring together the computational electronics world as a place where programs and results could be efficiently shared. For that purpose, it has matured and grown to where it is a major force in the area. But, it can also be a great tool for education, an...
Using NanoHub in Undergraduate Education
Online Presentations | 25 Jun 2014 | Contributor(s): David K. Ferry
nanoHUB.org has now been with us for quite some time. It has developed a suite of software simulation tools that is used extensively throughout the research community around the world. Some years back, I was tasked to find a way to create a laboratory for our course on “Electronic Materials and...

Crystal Directions and Miller Indices
Teaching Materials | 08 Jun 2010 | Contributor(s): David K. Ferry, Dragica Vasileska, Gerhard Klimeck
Miller indices are a notation system in crystallography for planes and directions in crystal lattices. In particular, a family of lattice planes is determined by three integers, l, m, and n, the Miller indices. They are written (lmn) and denote planes orthogonal to a direction (l,m,n) in the...
Crystal Structures
In mineralogy and crystallography, a crystal structure is a unique arrangement of atoms in a crystal. A crystal structure is composed of a basis, a set of atoms arranged in a particular way, and a lattice. The basis is located upon the points of a lattice spanned by lattice vectors, which is an...

Homework Assignment: Periodic Potentials
Teaching Materials | 31 Jan 2008 | Contributor(s): David K. Ferry
Using the Periodic Potential Lab on nanoHUB determine the allowed bands for an energy barrier of 5 eV, a periodicity W = 0.5nm, and a barrier thickness of 0.1nm. How do these bands change if the barrier thickness is changed to 0.2 nm?
Finite Height Quantum Well: an Exercise for Band Structure
Use the Resonant Tunneling Diodes simulation tool on nanoHUB to explore the effects of finite height quantum wells. Looking at a 2 barrier device, 300 K, no bias, other standard variables, and 3 nm thick barriers and a 7 nm quantum well, determine the energies of the two lowest quasi-bound states.
