Description

The non-equilibrium Greens function (NEGF) formalism provides a powerful conceptual and computational framework for treating quantum transport in nanodevices. It goes beyond the Landauer approach for ballistic, non-interacting electronics to include inelastic scattering and strong correlation effects at an atomistic level.

  5. How to consider electron-photon interaction w/o using self-energy?

    Q&A|Closed | Responses: 0

    Hi, In negf, interactions are considered as self-energies. For electron-photon interaction, a perturbation Hamiltonian is derived and then self-energy is found using coupled-field theory. Now,...

    Hi,

    I’m not too familiar with the NEGF formalism. But had a very basic question.

    I’ve read that NEGF can be viewed as a “Quantum Boltzmann Equation”. When...
