Transport in silicon nanowires

This thesis models the electrical breakup of geometrically uniform heavily doped silicon nanowires under the action of the random dopant potential. A self-consistent Thomas-Fermi model is used to show the natural formation of islands and structured characteristics of the system are presented. The is...
