Self-consistent Modeling of Open Quantum Devices

Akis R., Shifren L., Ferry D.K., Arizona State University, US

In this paper, we describe a method of simulating electron transport in semiconductor devices that operate in the quantum regime. Specifically, devices formed in which the electrons are confined to two dimensions (2D) and transport [...]

The Use of Bohm Trajectories and the Effective Potential in Probing Quantum Mechanical Behavior in 2-D and Spintronic Sub-micron Devices

Shifren L., Akis R., Ferry D.K., Arizona State University, US

We utilize an effective potential to reproduce Bohm (quantum) trajectory behavior using purely classical trajectories. The effective potential is a novel method for including certain quantum phenomena into classical simulations by projecting the non-zero dimensions [...]

Ensemble Monte Carlo Simulation of Raman Scattering in an AlxGa1-xAs System to Determine the Relative Strength of the Polar Optical Modes

Shifren L., Ferry D.K., Arizona State University, US

A Monte Carlo simulation is used to study Raman scattering and the relative strengths of the polar optical modes in an AlxGa1-xAs system. The dual polar optical modes in the system are incorporated by including [...]
