New release of free quantum effect simulator |
|
(Nanowerk News) A new version of 1dhetero, a tool able to simulate new technologically relevant III-V semiconductor materials at atomistic level, has been released at nanoHUB.org.
|
|
1dhetero is being developed at Purdue University in Prof. G. Klimeck's group, who has a strong background in quantum simulations, especially in quantum transport. Jean-Michel Sellier is the main developer and maintainer of the tool in his group

The tool is still under development and, according to Sellier, a new release should be deployed very soon, able to simulate multibands, sp3s* and sp3d5s* tight binding models. Even if still under development, the tool is already very reliable and able to simulate real devices at atomistic scale.

|
Furthermore, the tool is completely free and everybody can use it. The only condition required is to register to nanoHUB website. The free download can be found at the following link: www.nanohub.org/tools/1dhetero
