Non-equilibrium green's function (NEGF) method: a different perspective

Abstract

The NEGF method was established in the 1960's through the classic work of Keldysh and others [1] using the methods of manybody perturbation theory (MBPT) and this approach is widely used in the literature [2]. By contrast I have introduced a different approach starting with the one-electron Schrödinger equation [3, 4] which is used by many in the nanoelectronics community. In this talk I will try to answer the questions I often get regarding the relation between the two approaches and I thank the organizers of the IWCE for giving me this opportunity.
