Why engineers are right to avoid the quantum reality offered by the orthodox theory?
X. Oriols, D. K. Ferry
A proper knowledge of the reality of a physical theory is important to get an understanding of empirical phenomena. Despite its extraordinary predictive successes, the orthodox (al…
Using Ensemble Monte Carlo Methods to Evaluate Non-Equilibrium Green's Functions, II. Polar-Optical Phonons
David K. Ferry
In semi-classical transport, it has become common practice over the past few decades to use ensemble Monte Carlo (EMC) methods for the simulation of transport in semiconductor devi…
On a Method of Treating Polar-Optical Phonons in Real Space
David K Ferry
Polar-optical phonon interactions with carriers in semiconductors are long range interactions due to their Coulombic nature. Generally, if one wants to treat these with non-equilib…
Using Ensemble Monte Carlo Methods to Evaluate Non-Equilibrium Green's Functions
David K. Ferry
The use of ensemble Monte Carlo (EMC) methods for the simulation of transport in semiconductor devices has become extensive over the past few decades. This method allows for simula…
Bohmian Mechanics as a Practical Tool
Xabier Oianguren-Asua, Carlos F. Destefani, Matteo Villani +2
In this chapter, we will take a trip around several hot-spots where Bohmian mechanics and its capacity to describe the microscopic reality, even in the absence of measurements, can…
Kirchhoff's Current Law with Displacement Current
Robert Eisenberg, Xavier Oriols, David K. Ferry
Kirchhoff's Current Law is an essential tool in the design of circuits that operate very quickly, faster than nanoseconds. But Kirchhoff's current is often identified as the flow o…
Signature of spin-resolved quantum point contact in p-type trilayer WSe van der Waals heterostructure
K. Sakanashi, P. Krüger, K. Watanabe +5
In this study, the electrostatically induced quantum confinement structure, quantum point contact, has been realized in p-type trilayer tungsten diselenide-based van der Waals hete…
Dynamics of Current, Charge and Mass
Bob Eisenberg, Xavier Oriols, David Ferry
Electricity plays a special role in our lives and life. Equations of electron dynamics are nearly exact and apply from nuclear particles to stars. These Maxwell equations include a…
Information entropy and thermal entropy: apples and oranges
Laszlo B. Kish, David K. Ferry
The frequent misunderstanding of information entropy is pointed out. It is shown that, contrary to fortuitous situations and common beliefs, there is no general interrelation betwe…
Second Law based definition of passivity/activity of devices
Kyle Sundqvist, David K. Ferry, Laszlo B. Kish
Recently, our efforts to clarify the old question, if a memristor is a passive or active device [1], triggered debates between engineers, who have had advanced definitions of passi…
Memristor equations: incomplete physics and undefined passivity/activity
Kyle Sundqvist, David K. Ferry, Laszlo B. Kish
In his seminal paper, Chua presented a fundamental physical claim by introducing the memristor, "The missing circuit element". The memristor equations were originally supposed to r…
Ferroelectric Domain Patterning Controlled Schottky Junction State in Monolayer MoS
Zhiyong Xiao, Jingfeng Song, David K. Ferry +2
We exploit scanning probe controlled domain patterning in a ferroelectric top layer to induce nonvolatile modulation of the conduction characteristic of monolayer MoS between a…
Anisotropic intrinsic spin Hall effect in quantum wires
A. W. Cummings, R. Akis, D. K. Ferry
We use numerical simulations to investigate the spin Hall effect in quantum wires in the presence of both Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling. We find that the intrinsic spi…
Noise and Bell's inequality
David K. Ferry, Laszlo B. Kish
From the beginning of quantum mechanics, there has been a discussion about the concept of reality, as exemplified by the EPR paradox. To many, the idea of the paradox and the possi…
