Abstract
With the aim of manufacturing faster and smaller devices, the electronic industry is today entering into the nanoscale and the high frequency regimes. In this particular scenario, the dynamics of the electron charge becomes affected by quantum mechanical laws, both, for its spatial or temporal description. We have recently shown that Bohmian trajectories allow a direct treatment of the time-dependent many-particle interaction among electrons with an accuracy comparable to Density Functional Theory techniques. In addition, Bohmian mechanics, by combining wave functions and trajectories, provides a very simple description on how to describe multi-time measurements in quantum scenarios. Using the previous formalism, in this work we present a general purpose time-dependent 3D quantum electron transport simulator named BITLLES (Bohmian Interacting Transport in large low-dimensional Electronic Structures) especially indicated for AC, transients and noise predictions. As a numerical example of its capabilities, we compute the full electrical characteristics (DC, High frequency and fluctuations) of a Resonant Tunneling Diode. © 2012 IEEE.
