The quantum transmitting boundary method

A numerical algorithm for the solution of the two-dimensional effective mass Schrödinger equation for current-carrying states is developed. Boundary conditions appropriate for such states are developed and a solution algorithm constructed that is based on the finite element method. The utility of th...

Description
Summary:A numerical algorithm for the solution of the two-dimensional effective mass Schrödinger equation for current-carrying states is developed. Boundary conditions appropriate for such states are developed and a solution algorithm constructed that is based on the finite element method. The utility of the technique is illustrated by solving problems relevant to submicron semiconductor quantum device structures.
