Nanoscale Effects on Heterojunction Electron Gases in GaN/AlGaN Core/Shell Nanowires
Bryan M. Wong, François Léonard, Qiming Li +1
The electronic properties of heterojunction electron gases formed in GaN/AlGaN core/shell nanowires with hexagonal and triangular cross-sections are studied theoretically. We show…

Electrostatic effects on contacts to carbon nanotube transistors
Aron W. Cummings, François Léonard
We use numerical simulations to investigate the effect of electrostatics on the source and drain contacts of carbon nanotube field-effect transistors. We find that unscreened charg…

Reduced Joule heating in nanowires
François Léonard
The temperature distribution in nanowires due to Joule heating is studied analytically using a continuum model and a Green's function approach. We show that the temperatures reache…
