  • Abstract
    Empirical pseudopotentials are employed to study ballistic electron transport in nanoscale open systems. The boundary conditions are treated using the complex band structure and Schrödinger equation is solved self-consistently with Poisson equation employing parallel computing technique and a sparse-matrix solver. The example of a Si NanoWire is considered.
