Theoretical prediction of phonon transport in modern semiconductor nanodevices requires atomic resolution of device features and quantum transport models covering coherent and incoherent effects. The nonequilibrium Green's function method…

The nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) method is often used to predict transport in atomistically resolved nanodevices and yields an immense numerical load when inelastic scattering on phonons is included. To ease this load, this work…

Using the atomistic nonequilibrium Green's function, we find that thermal conductance of carbon nanotubes with presence of topological lattice imperfects is remarkably reduced, due to the strong Rayleigh scattering of high-frequency…

Power dissipation has become a major obstacle in performance scaling of modern integrated circuits, and has spurred the search for devices operating at lower voltage swing. In this letter, we study p-i-n band-to-band tunneling field effect…
