IWCN 2021: How to Preserve the Kramers-Kronig Relation in Inelastic Atomistic Quantum Transport Calculations
15 Jul 2021 | | Contributor(s):: Daniel Alberto Lemus, James Charles, Tillmann Christoph Kubis
The nonequilibrium Green’s function method (NEGF) is often used to predict quantum transport in atomically resolved nanodevices. This yields a high numerical load when inelastic scattering is included. Atomistic NEGF had been regularly applied on nanodevices, such as nanotransistors....

IWCN 2021: Quantum Transport Simulation on 2D Ferroelectric Tunnel Junctions
15 Jul 2021 | | Contributor(s):: Eunyeong Yang, Jiwon Chang
In this work, we consider a simple asymmetric structure of metal-ferroelectric-metal (MFM) FTJs with two different ferroelectric materials, Hf0.5Zr0.5O2(HZO) and CuInP2S6(CIPS), respectively. To investigate the performance of FTJs theoretically, we first explore complex band structures of HZO...

Lecture 1A: What and where is the resistance?
20 Aug 2008 | | Contributor(s):: Supriyo Datta
Objective: To introduce a simple quantitative model that highlights the essential parameters that determine electrical conduction: the density of states in the channel, D and the rates at which electrons hop in and out of the two contacts, labeled source and drain. This model is used to explain...
