Nanoscale materials and electronic transport: from ballistic to hopping approaches — •Velimir Meded1,2, Angela Poschlad2, Franz Symalla1, Denis Danilov1, and Igor Beljakov1 — 1Institute of Nanotechnology, KIT, Karlsruhe — 2Stainbuch Centre for Computing, KIT, Karlsruhe
In recent years we have developed simulation methods that describe the conformation and electronic properties of materials built based on well-defined nanoscale constituents. The methods were used to describe ballistic in nanoscale devices. Here we discuss applications on single-molecule electronics, specifically molecular wires (metallic and organic) and the development of an atomic transistor [1,2,3,4].
Secondly, we present multiscale methods to describe function of organic light emitting diodes [5] by deploying morphology simulations with Monte Carlo methods, quantum mechanical analysis of the generated morphology, and hopping charge transport.
Finally, I will discuss the integration of these methods into a European framework for multiscale materials modelling, MMM@HPC, which aims at making general simulation methods accessible to a wide audience of interested scientists, by seamlessly integrating HPC resources from within its graphical user interface [6].
