Low dimensional simulator for carbon-based devices

Abstract

Carbon-based devices such as carbon nanotubes (CNT) and graphene nanoribbon (GNR) have been explored rigorously as the potential successor to conventional metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFET). The limitations of silicon-based devices have catalysed much breakthrough research on carbon-based devices. In this paper, a comprehensive quantum simulation tool based on carbon devices is developed as a graphical user interface (GUI) using MATLAB. It is known as Low Dimensional Simulator (LODISI). This simulation tool allows the user to reach a trade-off between precision and time, as it provides impromptu analysis either by graph or direct calculation values. In addition, the auto generation of the voltage transfer curve from the complementary nanotransistor drain characteristics is one of the significant feature of LODISI.
