Design and modeling of geometric diodes can be really challenging as it requires a rigorous quantum analysis at the nanoscale, accurate enough to capture the asymmetric behavior of charge transport. In this paper, we present a full-wave Time-Dependent Schrödinger Equation (TDSE) approach to model coherent transport in a two-dimensional geometric diode defined by an asymmetric taper of the domain where the charges are confined. The proposed solution clearly shows asymmetric transport, and provides a description of the rectification behavior in response to a parametric change. In general, the above model can account for even more complex geometries in order to optimize diodes performance.

Abstract

Design and modeling of geometric diodes can be really challenging as it requires a rigorous quantum analysis at the nanoscale, accurate enough to capture the asymmetric behavior of charge transport. In this paper, we present a full-wave Time-Dependent Schrödinger Equation (TDSE) approach to model coherent transport in a two-dimensional geometric diode defined by an asymmetric taper of the domain where the charges are confined. The proposed solution clearly shows asymmetric transport, and provides a description of the rectification behavior in response to a parametric change. In general, the above model can account for even more complex geometries in order to optimize diodes performance.
