files, programs, and links provided for general interestDownloadable or Executable Programs:
GFET Tool (on nanoHub): Calculates current-voltage (I-V) curves for graphene transistors, including self-heating and high-field velocity saturation. Versions of this code have been used in Pop Lab publications #34, 40 and 46. Usage instructions are provided on the nanoHUB page. If using this code, please cite Pop Lab publication #46 by M.-H. Bae et al, ACS Nano 5, 7936 (2011).
nanoJoule (on nanoHub): Calculates current-voltage (I-V) curves for metallic single-wall carbon nanotubes, including self-heating and thermal breakdown. Versions of this code have been used in Pop Lab publications #3-5, 12 and 18. A manual is provided on the nanoHUB page. If using this code, please cite Pop Lab publication #12 by E. Pop et al, J. Appl. Phys. 101, 093710 (2007).
CNTmob (on nanoHub): Calculates mobility of semiconducting carbon nanotubes at various charge densities and temperatures. Includes phonon scattering, multiple sub-bands, Pauli blocking, and diameter variation. If using this code, please cite Pop Lab publication #22 by Y. Zhao et al, IEEE Elec. Dev. Lett. 30, 1078 (2009).
