  1. Electrical Resistance: an Atomistic View

    26 Oct 2006 | | Contributor(s):: Supriyo Datta

    This tutorial article presents a “bottom-up” view of electrical resistance starting from something really small, like a molecule, and then discussing the issues that arise as we move to bigger conductors. Remark ably enough, no serious quantum mechanics is needed to understand electrical...

  2. Modeling of Nanoscale Devices

    19 Oct 2006 | | Contributor(s):: M. P. Anantram, Mark Lundstrom, Dmitri Nikonov

    We aim to provide engineers with an introductionto the nonequilibriumGreen’s function (NEGF) approach, which is a powerful conceptual tool and a practical analysismethod to treat nanoscale electronic devices with quantum mechanicaland atomistic effects. We first review the basis for the...
