Following the school in 2002,  INSTITUTE OF PHYSICS will organize a school on Simulation and Modeling Physics from 23rd to 25th, December, 2003 on the subject:

"SIMULATION OF ELECTRON TRANSPORT IN SEMICONDUCTOR NANODEVICES"

LECTURERS :

CONTENTS OF LECTURES:

1. From classical to quantum transport in nanodevices:

- Brief introduction on semiconductor nanodevices
- Classical transport: distribution function and Boltzmann Transport Equation (BTE)
- Scattering mechanisms: phonon and impurity scattering
- Application of BTE to nanodevice simulation: example of Monte Carlo simulation
- Limitations of BTE (quantum effects)
- Introduction to quantum transport: Wigner function and transport equation
- Relations and differences between Boltzmann (classical) and Wigner (quantum)   formalisms
