Numerical Transport Simulations in Semiconductor Nanostructures on CPUs and GPUs
We present numerical simulations of charge transport through semiconductor nanostructures performed within the Green’s function formalism. The commonly used algorithm to compute the conductance of nanostructures in this formalism has been adapted for parallel execution on both multicore computers and general-purpose graphics processing units (GPU). Additionally, memory utilization has been opti...
متن کاملSimulation of Semiconductor Nanostructures
We employ density functional and quantum Monte Carlo calculations to show that significant changes occur in the optical gap of fully hydrogenated nanoclusters when the surface contains impurity passivants such as atomic oxygen. Our results show that quantum confinement is only one mechanism responsible for visible photoluminescence in silicon nanoclusters and that the specific surface chemistry...

متن کاملImaging Impurities in Semiconductor Nanostructures
Atomic impurities are critical for many technologies. They are used to engineer the optical and electronic properties of semiconductors for applications such as transistors, solar cells, lightemitting diodes (LEDs), and lasers, as well as to store energy for applications such as batteries and electrochemical cells. While the characterization and understanding of impurities in bulk semiconductor...
متن کاملCharge Detection in Semiconductor Nanostructures
In this thesis nanometer scale charge sensors are used to study charge transport in two solid state systems: Lateral GaAs quantum dots and hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H). In both of these experiments we use time-resolved charge sensing to study electron transport in regimes that are not accessible to traditional transport measurements. For the lateral GaAs quantum dot experiments, we u...
