Modelling and Computer Simulation of Nanostructured Devices

Abstract

Theory, modeling, and simulation provide investigative tools that support nanotechnology. Multi scale modeling is essential for exploring the numerous, new technology possibilities that research in nanoscience is creating. The purpose of the proposed review work is to explore models and techniques for designing and controlling nanostructured devices and establish links between physical (quantum) device modelling, experimental system identification, model verification and quantum control. Having reliable mathematical and computational models, methods and using standard tools with efficient computer simulation, it is essential to design complicated quantum devices such as semi-conductor nanostructures, superconducting devices before they are fabricated experimentally. The proposed review work will be useful to know the current status of nanostructure devices simulations and the work that is carried out in various centers to understand the physics and transport phenomena occurring in the nanoscale and better design of nanostructured devices.
