Abstract
A numerical algorithm for the solution of the two‐dimensional effective mass Schrödinger equation for current‐carrying states is developed. Boundary conditions appropriate for such states are developed and a solution algorithm constructed that is based on the finite element method. The utility of the technique is illustrated by solving problems relevant to submicron semiconductor quantum device structures.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
