Scattering Mechanisms for Semiconductor Transport Calculations
Abstract
We have applied our Monte Carlo approach to impact ionization to various important semiconductor materials including GaAs, InP and InAs. We find that in all these materials the ionization mechanism is quantitatively different to what has been described in previous-simplified models, such as Shockley's lucky electron theory. With regard to quantum transport, we have continued our work on the electron-electron interaction in simple nanostructures. The main goal of this study is to investigate whether Coulomb blockade effects continue to exist at the molecular level when quantization effects become significant.
