The Kronig–Penney model is quite useful for illustrating many important features of the quantum behaviour of electrons in periodic lattice. Although the Kronig–Penney model is well‐known and has been discussed in solid state textbooks, we try to use a simple and accessible way without the extremely laborious and tedious algebra evaluation to solve Kronig–Penney model. This paper presents a simple method without solving the difficult eigen‐problem to solve the Kronig–Penney model, and the important energy band characteristics can be easily obtained with circuit concepts. The simulation results are presented to demonstrate the accuracy and superiority of the model. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

In order to accomplish two-dimensional device simulation with a large number of nodes, in this paper we propose the device-partition method (DPM) to resolve the problem that the memory size of the simulation environment is insufficient. The idea of DPM is that the device can be divided into several
In this paper, a simplified method for solving the Schro¨dinger-Poisson equation set in a quantum mechanical (QM) simulation is presented. This method simplifies the conventional Schro¨dinger and Poisson equations and then converts the simplification equation into an equivalent circuit form. During
