Simulating the Effect of Spatial Potential Variation in Nanodevices with the NEGF Method
In this master thesis nanowires have been simulated to study the effect of spatial imperfections in the nanowires. This spatial imper- fection took the form of potential fluctuations in the conduction band across the wire. To achieve this, scripts were written in MATLAB to simulate the nanodevices by applying the non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) method. To verify the simulations, multiple q
