    Full-three dimensional quantum approach to evaluate the surface-roughness-limited magnetoresistance mobility in SNWT

    No full text
    We present a theoretical method to simulate magnetotransport in silicon nanowire (Si-NW) MOSFET including the effect of Surface Roughness (SR). We use a full three dimensional (3D) real-space self-consistent Poisson-Schrodinger solver based on Non Equilibrium Green's function Formalism (NEGF) which can treat the influence of an external magnetic field on the device. By comparing magnetoconductance curves with the classical Drude formula we extract magnetoresistance (MR) mobility for nanowires with and without roughness. From the preliminary results it seems that the MR mobility is not dramatically reduced for the SR parameters considered in this work

    Full quantum treatment of surface roughness effects in Silicon nanowire and double gate FETs

    We review recent results on the effect of surface roughness on the transport properties of ultra-short devices like Silicon nanowire and double-gate FETs. We use a full quantum treatment within the non equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) formalism which allows us to take into account quantum confinement, quantum phase interference, out-of-equilibrium, and quasi-ballistic transport and focus on transfer characteristics and low-field mobility

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    Monte-Carlo simulation of MOSFETs with band offsets in the source and drain

    No full text
    Full-band Monte-Carlo simulations of short channel double-gate SOI nMOSFETs were used to assess possible enhancement of drain current in devices featuring a conduction band offset between the source and the channel as those obtained using non-conventional source/drain materials. We found that the coupling between carrier transport and device electrostatics tends to balance the enhancement of charge injection provided by the band discontinuity, so that the largest contribution to the current enhancement given by alternative S/D materials is due to the strain that they induce in the channel
