Theory of collision broadening through a sequence of scattering events with applications to semiclassical Monte Carlo

摘要

Insights are presented into the modeling of collision broadening within semiclassical Monte Carlo simulation of carrier transport. The effects of collision broadening through a sequence of scattering events are analyzed via both basic theory and first-principles simulation using Schrodinger Equation Monte Carlo (SEMC), a simulation method de- signed to bridge the gap from quantum to classical transport. Based on this analysis, an improved treatment of collision broadening for semiclassical Monte Carlo is suggested.
