✦ Synopsis
The transient current response of n-doped GaAs-AlGaAs multiple barrier systems is studied within the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. Open boundary conditions are designed to minimize spurious reflections at the simulation boundaries. A local time-dependent Hartree-exchange-correlation-potential is used to self-consistently account for the intercarrier Coulomb interaction. Application to the resonant-tunneling double barrier reveals current oscillations which are due to charging and discharging of the well. Current oscillations are also obtained in the transient for multi-barrier systems.

We present a numerical-analytical method to evaluate multi-service networks with adaptive routing, scheduling and admission controls. We apply our method to connection-oriented networks supporting different types of real-time connections. The network dynamics is described by difference equations whi
