The capability of manipulating single dopant atoms in semiconductor materials, with atomic precision, has given birth to a new branch of electronics known as solotronics (solitary dopant optoelectronics). While experiments are advancing rapidly, the theoretical comprehension of quantum phenomena...

We present a numerical study of the evolution of a wave packet in a nanoscale MOSFET featuring an ‘atomistic’ channel doping. Our two-dimensional Monte Carlo Wigner simulation results are compared against classical Boltzmann simulation results. We show that the quantum effects due to the...

As nowadays semiconductor devices are characterized by active lengths on the nanometer scale, it is important to use models including fully the quantum mechanical effects. In this paper we focus on the Wigner equation, a convenient reformulation of the Schrödinger equation in terms of a...
