Syllabus

This nano electronics course provides an introduction to more advanced topics, including the Non- Equilibrium Green’s Function (NEGF) method widely used to analyse quantum transport in nanoscale devices. The course will explore topics within nano electronics, taking a more in depth look at quantum transport, gaining greater insight into the application of the Schrodinger Equation, and learning the basics of spintronics which is now a days recent trends in next generation nano electronic The quantum of conductance, Potential profile, Coulomb blockade Electrical resistance Basic of Quantum Mechanics, The quantum of conductance, Potential profile, Coulomb blockade Electrical resistance Hamiltonian Operator, Born-Open heimer approximation, Hydrogen Atom, Method of Finite Difference, Solution of Schrodinger Equation of 1D, 2D and 3D materials (spherical Coordinate).
