ChargeTransport.jl -- Simulating charge transport in semiconductors
ChargeTransport.jl
simulates charge transport in semiconductors. To this end, it discretizes
the semiconductor drift-diffusion equations via the Voronoi finite volume method as implemented in VoronoiFVM.jl.
Special features
- heterostructures
- 1D, 2D and 3D simulations
- stationary and transient simulations
- IV curves and scan protocols
- an arbitrary amount of charge carriers may be added
- thermodynamically consistent, physics preserving numerical methods
- different charge carrier statistics per species (Boltzmann, Blakemore, Fermi-Dirac)
