PROJECT OVERVIEW: Empirical / Atomistic Modeling of Binding Energies in Phosphorus Donor Clusters

INTRODUCTION:

  • Si:P Double Quantum Dot (DQD) device
  • What is the number of P dopants in clusters D1 and D2 ?

METHODOLOGY:

  • Atomistic modeling of binding energies with NEMO3D-peta
  • Empirical modeling of millions of donor cluster configurations

RESULTS:

  • Accurate determination of P dopants in clusters D1 and D2 using binding energy confidence bands
  • Development of empirical models for rapid calculation of donor cluster binding energies
  • Published in Nature Nanotechnology, 9, 430, 2014 (B. Weber, Y.-H. M. Tan, et.al.)
  • Manuscript in preparation (Tan, et.al.)
