Numerical spurious solutions in the effective mass approximation
We have characterized a class of spurious solutions that appears when using the finite difference method to solve the effective mass approximation equations. We find that the behavior of these solutions as predicted by our model shows excellent agreement with numerical results. Using this interpretation we find a set of analytical expressions for conditions that the Luttinger parameters must sa...
متن کاملSpurious Solutions in the Multiband Effective Mass Theory Applied to Low Dimensional Nanostructures
In this paper we analyze a long standing problem of the appearance of spurious, non-physical solutions arising in the application of the effective mass theory to low dimensional nanostructures. The theory results in a system of coupled eigenvalue PDEs that is usually supplemented by interface boundary conditions that can be derived from a variational formulation of the problem. We analyze such ...
متن کاملQuantum Transport Beyond the Effective Mass Approximation
A three-dimensional full band simulator for nanowire field-effect transistors (FETs) is presented in this thesis. At the nanometer scale the classical drift-diffusion transport theory reaches its limits; quantum transport (QT) phenomena govern the motion of electrons and holes. The development of a QT simulator requires the assembly of several physical models and the choice of appropriate simpl...
متن کاملAsymptotically Optimal Approximation and Numerical Solutions of Diierential Equations Asymptotically Optimal Approximation and Numerical Solutions of Diierential Equations
Given nite subset J IR n , and a point 2 IR n , we study in this paper the possible convergence, as h ! 0, of the coeecients in least-squares approximation to f(+hh) from the space spanned by (f(+ hj) j2J. We invoke thèleast solution of the polynomial interpolation problem' to show that the coeecient do converge for a generic J and , provided that the underlying function f is suuciently smooth....
متن کاملConvergence estimates for the numerical approximation of homoclinic solutions
This article is concerned with the numerical computation of homoclinic solutions converging to a hyperbolic or semi-hyperbolic equilibrium of a system _ u = f(u; ). The approximation is done by replacing the original problem by a boundary value problem on a nite interval and introducing an additional phase condition to make the solution unique. Numerical experiments have indicated that the para...
