Low-loss optical communication requires light sources at 1.5um wavelengths. Experiments showed without much theoretical guidance that InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) may be tuned to such wavelengths by adjusting the In fraction in an InxGa1-xAs strain-reducing capping layer (SRCL). In this work systematic multimillion atom electronic structure calculations qualitatively and quantitatively explain for the first time available experimental data. The NEMO 3-D simulations treat strain in a 15 million atom system and electronic structure in a subset of ~9 million atoms using the experimentally given nominal geometries and without any further parameter adjustments the simulations match the nonlinear behavior of experimental data very closely. With the match to experimental data and the availability of internal model quantities significant insight can be gained through mapping to reduced order models and their relative importance. We can also demonstrate that starting from simple models has in the past led to the wrong conclusions. The critical new insight presented here is that the QD changes its shape. The quantitative simulation agreement with experiment without any material or geometry parameter adjustment in a general atomistic tool leads us to believe that the era of nano Technology Computer Aided Design (nano-TCAD) is approaching. NEMO 3-D will be released on nanoHUB.org where the community can duplicate and expand on the results presented here through interactive simulations.
In this work we investigate the potential of tetragonal L1$_0$ ordered FeNi as candidate phase for rare earth free permanent magnets taking into account anisotropy values from recently synthesized, partially ordered FeNi thin films. In particular, we
A highly anticipated application for quantum computers is as a universal simulator of quantum many-body systems, as was conjectured by Richard Feynman in the 1980s. The last decade has witnessed the growing success of quantum computing for simulating
StructOpt, an open-source structure optimization suite, applies genetic algorithm and particle swarm methods to obtain atomic structures that minimize an objective function. The objective function typically consists of the energy and the error betwee
The capabilities of CP2K, a density-functional theory package and OMEN, a nano-device simulator, are combined to study transport phenomena from first-principles in unprecedentedly large nanostructures. Based on the Hamiltonian and overlap matrices ge
Computational study of molecules and materials from first principles is a cornerstone of physics, chemistry, and materials science, but limited by the cost of accurate and precise simulations. In settings involving many simulations, machine learning
