Adaptive Energy Integration of Non-Equilibrium Green’s Functions

چکیده

To obtain the physical quantities of interest within the non-equilibrium Green’s function formalism, numerical integration over energy space is essential. Several adaptive methods have been implemented and tested for their applicability. The number of energy grid points needed and the convergence behavior of the SchrödingerPoisson iteration have been evaluated. An adaptive algorithm based on a global error criterion proved to be more efficient than a local adaptive algorithm.

Three-Dimensional Interfacial Green’s Function for Exponentially Graded Transversely Isotropic Bi-Materials

By virtue of a complete set of two displacement potentials, an analytical derivation of the elastostatic Green’s functions of an exponentially graded transversely isotropic bi-material full-space was presented. Three-dimensional point-load Green’s functions for stresses and displacements were given in line-integral representations. The formulation included a complete set of transformed stress-p...

Modeling of High-k-Metal-Gate-Stacks Using the Non-Equilibrium Green’s Function Formalism

A high-k-Metal-Gate stack has been investigated using an open boundary model based on the non-equilibrium Green’s function formalism. The numerical energy integration, which is crucial because of the very narrow resonant states, is pointed out in detail. The model has been benchmarked against the established classical and closed boundary SchrödingerPoisson model. In contrast to the established ...

Nonequilibrium Green's functions in the study of heat transport of driven nanomechanical systems

We review a recent theoretical development based on non-equilibrium Green’s function formalism to study heat transport in nanomechanical devices modeled by phononic systems of coupled quantum oscillators driven by ac forces and connected to phononic reservoirs. We present the relevant equations to calculate the heat currents flowing along different regions of the setup, as well as the power dev...
