Topic: Atomic-scale Modeling of Nanoelectronic Devices With Atomistix ToolKit
Date: May 28th, 2013
Time: 11:00 am – 12:00 pm EDT.
Presenter:
Dr. Anders Blom, QuantumWise
Abstract:
In this webinar, we will discuss advanced atomic-scale modeling of nanoelectronic devices in a wide range of areas, from ultrascaled CMOS to molecular electronics, graphene, nanowires and nanotubes. After a brief introduction to some basics about the electronic structure and transport models that can be used in such simulations, The speaker will illustrate the key concepts with several examples. We will also demonstrate how we at QuantumWise have implemented these methods in a software package (Atomistix ToolKit), which contains a graphical user interface and a Python scripting engine to make it both easy to use and yet powerful for experienced users. The package is also capable of interfacing other codes like VASP, ABINIT, CASTEP, etc and can act as a graphical front-end to these packages, lowering the barrier for beginners and making power users more productive.
Bio:
Anders Blom received his PhD in theoretical physics from Lund University, Sweden, in 2003 for work on resonant states in delta-doped III-V heterostructure quantum wells. During his university time he worked on various simulation approaches in advanced semiconductor structures and also taught undergraduate courses in quantum mechanics and solid state physics. In 2004 he joined Atomistix, and worked there as a sales engineer. He was then part of the core group that founded QuantumWise in December 2008 to take over the activities from Atomistix, most notably the development of the electronic structure and transport simulation software Atomistix ToolKit. Anders today heads the sales, marketing and support department in QuantumWise, and is a specialist in applying atomic-scale modeling to advanced semiconductor devices.
