  1. Computational Modeling of Quantum Resonances in Nanostructures Chao-Cheng Kaun New engineering science Research Center for Applied Sciences, Acadamia Sinica,Taiwan Department of Physics, National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan April 11, 2019 NCTU

  2. Outline: • Introduction 2.Conductance of single-molecule junctions Gold nanowires: Alkanedithiol, benzenedithiol, and peptide Carbon nanowires: Polyacene and graphene-nanoflake 3. Coupling in thin films Interlayer exchange coupling in Fe/Ag/Fe films Magnetic anisotropy in Fe/Ag films 4. Summary

  3. 1. Introduction: Micro-Electronics Modeling: SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) Input: a schematic circuit Output: the simulated circuit behaviors. Device parameters Obtain these parameters empirically: send designs to Taiwan semiconductor foundry; make many devices; do measurements; extract parameters.
