Due to the complexity of the formalism, one should have a deep understanding of the underlying principles and use smart approximations and numerical methods for solving the kinetic equations at a reasonable computational time. In this book the required concepts from quantum and statistical mechanics and numerical methods for calculating Green functions are presented. The Green function is studied in detail for systems both under equilibrium and under nonequilibrium conditions. Because the formalism enables rigorous modeling of different scattering mechanisms in terms of self-energies, but an exact evaluation of self-energies for realistic systems is not possible, their approximation and inclusion in the quantum kinetic equations of the Green functions are elaborated. All the elements of the kinetic equations, which are the device Hamiltonian, contact self-energies, and scattering self-energies, are examined and efficient methods for their evaluation are explained. Finally, the application of these methods to study novel electronic devices such as nanotubes, graphene, Si-nanowires, and low-dimensional thermoelectric devices and photodetectors are discussed. 410 0$aComputational Microelectronics. 606 $aGreen's functions 606 $aNanoelectronics$xMathematical models 606 $aMany-body problem 606 $aElectronics 606 $aMicroelectronics 606 $aNanoscale science 606 $aNanoscience 606 $aNanostructures 606 $aNanotechnology 606 $aComputer-aided engineering 606 $aElectronics and Microelectronics, Instrumentation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T24027 606 $aNanoscale Science and Technology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25140 606 $aNanotechnology and Microengineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T18000 606 $aComputer-Aided Engineering (CAD, CAE) and Design$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I23044 615 0$aGreen's functions. 615 0$aNanoelectronics$xMathematical models. 615 0$aMany-body problem. 615 0$aElectronics. 615 0$aMicroelectronics. 615 0$aNanoscale science. 615 0$aNanoscience. 615 0$aNanostructures. 615 0$aNanotechnology. 615 0$aComputer-aided engineering. 615 14$aElectronics and Microelectronics, Instrumentation. 615 24$aNanoscale Science and Technology. 615 24$aNanotechnology and Microengineering. 615 24$aComputer-Aided Engineering (CAD, CAE) and Design. 676 $a515.35 700 $aPourfath$b Mahdi$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0924547 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299755403321 996 $aThe Non-Equilibrium Green's Function Method for Nanoscale Device Simulation$92075341 997 $aUNINA
