2 fedyay@phbme.ntu-kpi.kiev.ua 2 Overview Objects of simulation Physical model Computational methods Simulation tool Examples of simulation

3 fedyay@phbme.ntu-kpi.kiev.ua 3 Objects to be simulated Layered structures with transverse electron transport: - resonant-tunneling diodes (RTD) with 1, 2, 3, … barriers; - Supperlattices Reference topology  (example):

4 fedyay@phbme.ntu-kpi.kiev.ua 4 Physical model. Intro ENVELOPE FUNCTION (EFFECTIVE MASS) METHOD in case of homogeneous s/c and flat bands (Bloch waves)  Envelope of what? of the electron wave function:  What if not flat-band?

5 fedyay@phbme.ntu-kpi.kiev.ua 5 Physical model. Type ENVELOPE FUNCTION (EFFECTIVE MASS) METHOD

6 fedyay@phbme.ntu-kpi.kiev.ua 6 Model’s restriction h/s with band wraps of type I (II) TYPE III InAs-GaSb Band structures  sketches TYPE I GaAs – AlGaAs GaSb – AlSb GaAs – GaP InGaAs – InAlAs InGaAs – InP TYPE II InP-Al 0.48 In 0.52 As InP-InSb BeTe–ZnSe GaInP-GaAsP Si-SiGe

7 fedyay@phbme.ntu-kpi.kiev.ua 7 Physical model. Type  What do we combine? we combine semiclassical and “ quantum-mechanical ” approaches for different regions Sometimes referred to as “COMBINED” (*) homogeneous, (**) almost equilibrium  high-doped (*) nanoscaled heterolayers, (**) non-equilibrium  intrinsic

8 fedyay@phbme.ntu-kpi.kiev.ua 8 Physical model. Electron gas

9 fedyay@phbme.ntu-kpi.kiev.ua 9 Physical model. Master equations. (1 band)

10 fedyay@phbme.ntu-kpi.kiev.ua 10 Physical model. Electrical current. Coherent component Coherent component of current flow is well described by Tsu-Esaki formulation:

11 fedyay@phbme.ntu-kpi.kiev.ua 11 Physical model. Electrical current. (!) Coherent component

12 fedyay@phbme.ntu-kpi.kiev.ua 12 Physical model.   Which equation  L and  R are eigenfunction of? We need |  L | 2 and |  R | 2 for calculation of CURRENT and CONCENTRAION

13 fedyay@phbme.ntu-kpi.kiev.ua 13 2-band model. What for?

14 fedyay@phbme.ntu-kpi.kiev.ua 14 2-band model. What for?  Current re-distribution between valleys  changing of a total current  Electrons re-distribution  changing potential ! [100]

15 fedyay@phbme.ntu-kpi.kiev.ua 15 Physical model.  Г,  X  It was derived from k.p-method that instead of eff.m.Schr.eq. it must be a following system: which “turns on” Г-X mixing at heterointerfaces (points z i ) by means of . It of course reduces to 2 independent eff.m.Shcr.eqs. for X and Г-valley

16 fedyay@phbme.ntu-kpi.kiev.ua 16 Physical model. Boundary conditions for Schr. eq. We have to formulate boundary conditions for Schrödinger equation. They are quite natural (Q uantum T ransmission B oundary M ethod ). Wave functions in the reservoirs are plane waves. Transmission coefficient needs to be found for current calculation

17 fedyay@phbme.ntu-kpi.kiev.ua 17 Physical model. Features Combined quazi-1D. Self-consistent (Hartee approach). Feasibility of 1 or 2-valley approach. Scattering due to POP and Г-X mixing is taking into acount.

18 fedyay@phbme.ntu-kpi.kiev.ua 18 Scientific content circumstantial evidence: direct use of works on modeling of nanostructures 1971-2010

19 fedyay@phbme.ntu-kpi.kiev.ua 19 Computational methods Numerical problems and solutions : ?Computation of concentration n(z) needs integration of stiff function  using adaptive Simpson algorithm; ?Schrodinger equation have to be represented as finite-difference scheme, assuring conservation, and needs prompt solution  using of conservative FD schemes and integro- interpolating Tikhonov-Samarskiy method; ?Algorithm of self-consistence with good convergence should be used to find V H  using linearizing Gummel’s method ?Efficient method for FD scheme with 5-diagonal matrix solution (appeared in 2-band model, corresponding to Schrödinger equation)  direct methods, using sparse matrix concept in Matlab (allowing significant memory economy)
