Coupling atomistic and finite element approaches for the simulation of optoelectronic devices

Multiscale methods coupling quantum mechanical/atomistic models such as envelope function and tight binding approaches with continuous media models e.g. for strain or electronic transport are very useful for an accurate simulation of modern and emerging electronic and optoelectronic devices based on nanostructured active regions. We present simulations using TIBERCAD whose main focus is on providing an integrated multiscale/multiphysics simulation environment.
