Time Integrator Agnostic Charge Conserving Finite Element PIC
Scott O'Connor, Zane D. Crawford, O. H. Ramachandran +2
Developing particle-in-cell (PIC) methods using finite element basis sets, and without auxiliary divergence cleaning methods, was a long standing problem until recently. It was sho…

A Set of Benchmark Tests for Validation of 3D Particle In Cell Methods
S. O'Connor, Z. D. Crawford, J. Verboncoeur +2
While the particle-in-cell (PIC) method is quite mature, verification and validation of both newly developed methods and individual codes has largely focused on an idiosyncratic ch…

A Two Dimensional Tunneling Resistance Transmission Line Model for Nanoscale Parallel Electrical Contacts
Sneha Banerjee, John Luginsland, Peng Zhang
Contact resistance and current crowding are important to nanoscale electrical contacts. In this paper, we present a self-consistent model to characterize partially overlapped paral…
