New Release of the Code (Rel 1.4)

Today the new version of the code has been released.
New capabilities have been added as:

  • Interface with Quantum Espresso and Wannier90 (Tutorial 14) in order to perform multi-scale simulations
  • Solution of the 1D Poisson Equation
  • Solution of the 1D Schroedinger Equation within the Effective Mass Approximation (Tutorial 15)
  • Fermi Dirac Integrals of generic orders (Fermi_Integrals command)
  • Trapezoidal gate geometry for 3D structures

Website again online

During the last week we have encountered some problems with the web server. Eventually (and hopefully!) such issues should be solved: sorry for the inconvenience.

PhD and Postdoc position avaliable

At the University of Pisa we are opening three positions  at the PhD and PostDoc level for the following topics:
1. Ab-initio simulation of graphene-based nanostructures

The activity will consist in understanding the physics at the atomic level of graphene based systems, through
the exploitation of quantum chemistry code. Qualified candidates must have good expertise with
DFT/ab-initio codes, preferably Quantum Espresso.
2. Quantum transport in graphene-based devices 
The focus is understanding the potential of new concept of graphene based devices, in order
to assess the performance against next generation transistors requirements. During this activity,
the candidate will extensively use and develop models for the quantum simulator NanoTCAD ViDES.
For this position, candidates must have a strong background in device physics and
show good programming skills (C, Fortran and Python).

Expressions of interest with attached detailed CV should be sent by Sept. 1 to both email addresses indicated below:

Gianluca Fiori
University of Pisa
Giuseppe Iannaccone
