Abstract:We present a fast and robust iterative method for obtaining self-consistent solutions to the
coupled system of Schrödinger's and Poisson's equations in quantum structures. A simple
expression describing the dependence of the quantum electron density on the electrostatic
potential is used to implement a predictor – corrector type iteration scheme for the solution
of the coupled system of differential equations. This approach simplifies the software
implementation of the nonlinear problem, and provides excellent… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
