Simulation of quantum electronic transport in small devices: A Master equation approach
Abstract
We describe a formulation of quantum electron transport in small devices based on the Master equation. We sketch its derivation from the Liouville-von Neumann equation, especially alluding to the subtle issues related to irreversibility. We also present results regarding ballistic and dissipative transport in double gate Si FETs.
