Talk Abstract
Using Ab initio and semi-empirical modelling to assist both theoreticians and
experimentalist in predicting and understanding the behaviour of nanoscale devices.
As the dimensions of electronic devices are rapidly decreasing, there is a need for a new generation of modeling tools that can accurately calculate the electrical properties of devices where atomic scale details and quantum effects are important.
A promising framework for such calculations is density functional theory within the nonequilibrium Green's function formalism (NEGF-DFT) [1,2]. In this presentation we present the basic framework and applications of the formalism. In addition, for the formalism to be applied in semiconductor device modeling it needs to be able to handle many thousands of atoms. We discuss new developments and future aspects [3,4] of the method important for semiconductor device modeling; in particular we show that for important classes of systems the approach scales linearly with the system size.
Insights gained when modeling the electrical properties of nanoscale devices will be illustrated through the results obtained for Si Nanowire, spin dependent devices, leakage current through ultra thin oxide barriers and carbon based electronics (carbon nanotubes/graphene).

About the Software
First-principles simulation software for nanoscience
QuantumWise software is used to model the electronic structure of molecules, crystals, and surfaces. It is distinguished by its unique capability to simulate electrical transport in nanodevices, and its ability to treat large-scale systems. The software is actively used in a wide range of application areas such as:
•Molecular electronics
•Carbon nanotubes and graphene
•Nanowires
•Magnetic System
•Bulk and nanoscale semiconductors
•Surface electrochemistry
•Computational material science
The QuantumWise platform, based on an open architecture which integrates a powerful scripting language with a GUI platform consists of a core component called Atomistix ToolKit (ATK) and a user-friendly graphical interface called Virtual NanoLab. It provides simple and intuitive access to state-of-the-art atomic advanced modeling techniques such as nonequilibrium Green's functions (NEGF) and density functional theory (DFT) thus allowing the user to focus on the physical properties of the systems under investigation instead. Regardless if you are an expert in DFT or an experimentalist, the program provides intuitive and comprehensive tools making it possible to easily model the geometry, electronic structure and electrical properties of nanoscale system.
