This review describes recent groundbreaking results in Si, Si/SiGe, and dopant-based
quantum dots, and it highlights the remarkable advances in Si-based quantum physics that …

QuantumATK is an integrated set of atomic-scale modelling tools developed since 2003 by
professional software engineers in collaboration with academic researchers. While different …

Physics at the nanoscale has emerged as a field where discoveries of fundamental physical
effects lead to a greater understanding of the solid state. Additionally, the field is believed to …

The ability to control matter at the atomic scale and build devices with atomic precision is
central to nanotechnology. The scanning tunnelling microscope can manipulate individual …

Starting with the simplest semiclassical approaches and ending with the description of
complex fully quantum-mechanical methods for quantum transport analysis of state-of-the …

As the active dimensions of metal-oxide field-effect transistors are approaching the atomic
scale, the electronic properties of these “nanowire” devices must be treated on a quantum …

Exact, analytic expressions for the valence band effective masses in the spin-orbit, sp 3 d 5
s* empirical tight-binding model are derived. These expressions together with an automated …

We develop an atomistic, nearest-neighbor sp 3 s* tight-binding Hamiltonian to investigate
the electronic structure of dilute bismide alloys of GaP and GaAs. Using this model, we …

The ability to build structures with atomic precision is one of the defining features of
nanotechnology. Achieving true atomic-level functionality, however, requires the ability to …

The modeling of finite-extent semiconductor nanostructures that are embedded in a host
material requires a proper boundary treatment for a finite simulation domain. For the study of …
