Hi,

I wonder if there is a Density Functional Theory or Hartree-Fock Theory based atomistic simulator that can be used to simulate nanoelectronic devices for example nano-scale field effect transistors?

I looked at the documentations of SIESTA and other DFT software listed at https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=132559&highlight=siesta but none of them mentions to be able to simulate these electronic devices, i.e. deices or systems under electrical bias. Do you know any software to simulate biased nanoelectronic devices?

Regards,

Hi,

This might help

However, you can write a simple code by solving Possion and Schrodinger equations self-consistently.

Bests,
 
Time-dependent DFT can describe quantum transport in some molecular devices.
For traditional FET, my last post can be the answer, in this case, DFT is very tough!
 
From the BCS theory of superconductivity is well known that the superfluid density smoothly decreases with increasing temperature. Annihilated superfluid carriers become normal and lose their momenta on lattice atoms. So if we induce a persistent supercurrent in a ring below Tc and after that slowly increase the temperature, we must observe a decrease in the actual supercurrent, because the density of electron pairs and total supercurrent momentum decrease. However, this supercurrent...
Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
