Development of simulators based on ab-initio methods and tight binding for nanoelectronic devices.
Development of simulators for nanoelectronic devices based on the use of atomistic models, which take into account fluctuations at an atomic scale, distortion in the links and defects in the crystalline network. The methods used are usually: ab-initio methods, based on the density functional theory on the local density approximation (DFT-LDA), and methods based on the tight binding technique (TB).
