Transient Transport in Nanostructure Devices via the Quantum Liouville Equation in the Coordinate Representation

Abstract

Through the use of numerical methods the quantum Liouville equation in the coordinate representation has been implemented for the study of semiconductor devices with nanoscale feature sizes, with an emphasis on dissipation. We have successfully applied this algorithm to the calculation of current in single and multiple barrier diodes, and Scientific Research Associates, Inc. is presently one of the few research organizations numerically obtaining the quantum distribution functions for both electrons and holes. This document summarizes work performed under U.S. Navy, Office of Naval Research Contract: N00014-93-C-0044.
