Welcome to the website of the new version of the NanoTCAD ViDES code, which levers on the versatility of the python scripting, and on the strength of the C/Fortran languages.

The current version of NanoTCAD ViDES is a python module, which integrates the C and Fortran subroutines already developed in the past version of the NanoTCAD ViDES simulator, which is able to simulate nanoscale devices, through the self-consistent solution of the Poisson and the Schroedinger equations, by means of the Non-Equilibrium Green’s Function (NEGF) formalism.

The module developed so far has a set of predefined functions, which allow to compute transport in:

  • Graphene Nanoribbons
  • Carbon Nanotubes
  • Two-dimensional graphene FET
  • Two-dimensional bilayer graphene FET

The user can anyway define his own device and material through the exploitation of the Hamiltonian command, which allows to define whatever material within the tight-binding approach.

The code is highly modularized, so that additional modules can be easily added, following the tips and the explanations provided in the “Developing Modules” session.

The site is organized as follows:
- The Download and Installation sections contains the source code as well as all the information to install the code and the needed additional modules.
- In the Documentation section you can find information regarding
  1. the Commands available in the released version of the code.
  2. the Tutorial, which introduces the user to the NanoTCAD ViDES simulator, providing examples and scripts, which can be downloaded.
 
For a description of the physical models implemented in the code, please refer to the publications you can find here.
