Application of a self-consistent NEGF procedure to study the coherent transport with phase breaking scattering in low dimensional systems

We have studied Quantum Transport with dephasing in Low Dimensional systems. Here, we apply a self-consistent NEGF procedure to study the transport mechanism in low-dimensional systems with phase breaking scatterers. Under this we have determined the transmission coefficient of a very small Multi-Moded Nanowire which is under a small bias potential of few meV. We have calculated the transmission of this device first with no scatterers. Then we have introduced scatterers in the device and calculated the transmission for the device.

Application of the self-consistent quantum method for simulating the size quantization effect in the channel of a nano-scale dual gate MOSFET

Self-Consistent Quantum Method using Schrodinger-Poisson equations have been used for determining the Channel electron density of Nano-Scale MOSFETs for 6nm and 9nm thick channels. The 6nm thick MOSFET show the peak of the electron density at the middle where as the 9nm thick MOSFET shows the accumulation of the electrons at the oxide/semiconductor interface. The electron density in the channel is obtained from the diagonal elements of the density matrix; [ρ]=[1/(1+exp(β(H − μ)))] A Tridiagonal Hamiltonian Matrix [H] is constructed for the oxide/channel/oxide 1D structure for the dual gate MOSFET. This structure is discretized and Finite-Difference method is used for constructing the matrix equation. The comparison of these results which are obtained by Quantum methods are done with Semi-Classical methods.
