[FEL]: archimedes 2.0.0 stable release


Archimedes, the 2D Quantum Monte Carlo simulator for semiconductor devices, has been updated on both Fedora and EPEL testing repositories.

Since last FEL release, archimedes entails the following changes:

  • The material parameters have been checked and modified
  • Benchmark tests were carried out to check the validity of the framework
  • Scattering phonons can be set to ON or OFF
  • Support for Full band approach was implemented
  • Parabolic, Kane and Full bank verified
  • Full band parameters supports for all materials
  • Initial implementation of FEM for Poisson
  • Quantum Effective Potential modified
  • Bohm Potential Model was implemented
  • Calibrated Bohm Potential Model was implemented
  • Density Gradient corrected and tested
  • Full effective potential model was implemented
