Using accurate dissipative DFT-NEGF atomistic-simulation techniques within the Wannier-Function formalism, we give a fresh look at the possibility of sub-10 nm scaling for high-performance CMOS applications. We show that a combination of…

Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are promising for two-dimensional (2D) semiconducting devices and novel phenomena. For 2D applications, their work function, ionization energy, and electron affinity are required as a function of…

We describe a simple method to determine, from ab initio calculations, the complete orientation-dependence of interfacial free energies in solid-state crystalline systems. We illustrate the method with an application to precipitates in the…

The bandgap and band bowing parameter of semiconductor alloys are calculated with a fast and realistic approach. The method is a dielectric scaling approximation that is based on a scissor approximation. It adds an energy shift to the…

We present ab initio GW plus cumulant-expansion calculations for an organic compound (TMTSF)2PF6 and a transition-metal oxide SrVO3. These materials exhibit characteristic low-energy band structures around the Fermi level, which bring about…

Ultrathin (~3 quintuple layer) field-effect transistors (FETs) of topological insulator Bi2Se3 are prepared by mechanical exfoliation on 300nm SiO2/Si susbtrates. Temperature- and gate-voltage dependent conductance measurements show that…

A widely used technique to mitigate the gate leakage in the ultra-scaled metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) is the use of high-k dielectrics, which provide the same equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) as $\rm SiO_2$,…

Van der Waals heterostructures are the ideal material platform for tunnel field effect transistors (TFETs) because a band-to-band tunneling (BTBT) dominant current is feasible at room temperature (RT) due to ideal, dangling bond free…

MoS$_2$ field-effect transistors (FETs) with high-\textit{k} oxides currently lag behind silicon standards in bias and temperature stability due to ubiquitous border oxide traps that cause clockwise (CW) hysteresis in gate transfer…

Two-dimensional materials-based field-effect transistors (2DM-FETs) exhibit both ambipolar and unipolar transport types. To physically and compactly cover both cases, we put forward a quasi-Fermi-level phase space (QFLPS) approach to model…
