Not funded by a EU programme Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? No /ph3Offer Description /h3pThe proposed research line is aimed at formulating quantum transport models for the simulation of nanoscale electronic devices, improving the standard effective-mass approximation by incorporating non-parabolicity effects directly into the Schrödinger equation. The primary objective is to simulate quantum devices such as the resonant tunneling diode.



This requires a careful analysis of spectral properties and the development of WKB-type numerical schemes that include an accurate discretization of open boundary conditions.br/Optimization methods will be applied to the transport models described above in order to design potentials that drive charge carriers toward a target dynamics. Further developments will include comparison with simulations based on the Wigner equation and the formulation of hydrodynamic models with quantum corrections derived from the maximum entropy method /pulliItaly /li /ulh3Eligibility of fellows: country/ies of residence: /h3ulliEUROPE /li /ulh3Eligibility of fellows: nationality/ies: /h3 #J-18808-Ljbffr
