We have developed a simulator for nanoelectronics devices, NEMO-VN2. In this work we use the simulator to explore the performance of single electron transistor. The model is base on non-equilibrium Green function method and implemented by using graphic user interface of Matlab. The current-voltage characteristics such as drain current-voltage, drain current-gate voltage ones are explored. Some characteristics reproduced by the proposed model are compared with experimental results of single electron transistor and good agreements are validated.

Graphene has been one of the most vigorously studied research materials. We have developed a program for simulation of graphene field effect transistor (GFET). In this work, we use the simulation program to explore the performance of graphene FET. The simple model of the graphene FET is based on non-equilibrium Green’s function method and first is implemented by using graphic user interface of Matlab. The current-voltage characteristics of the GFET and affects of channel materials, gate materials, size of graphene FET, temperature on the characteristics are explored.

<p>In this work, we simulated and modeled silicon quantum dot based single electron transistor (SET). We simulated the device using non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) formalism in transport direction coupled with Schrodinger equation in transverse directions. The characteristics of SET such as Coulomb blockade and Coulomb diamonds were observed. We also present a new efficient model to calculate the current voltage (IV) characteristics of the SET. The IV characteristic achieved from the model are very similar to those from simulations both in shape and magnitude. The proposed model is capable of reproducing the Coulomb diamond diagram in good agreement with the simulations. The model, which is based on transmission spectrum, is simple, efficient and provides insights on the physics of the device. The transmission spectrum at equilibrium is achieved from simulations and given as input to the model. The model then calculates the evolved transmission spectra at non-equilibrium conditions and evaluates the current using Landauers formula.</p>

Single electron transistor (SET) is a key element in current research area of nanoelectronics and nanotechnology which can offer nano-feature size, low power consumption and high operating speed. SET is a new nanoscale switching device. It can control the motion of the single electron. The goal of this paper is to discuss about some physical properties of the SET and focuses on simulation of basic quantum device characteristics such as tunneling effect, Coulomb blockage, Quantum dot, Coulomb staircase, and Coulomb oscillation. The current-voltage characteristics of SET are explored for illustration. Two types of metallic and semiconducting SETs have been simulated.

We report on electronic transport experiments on a graphene single electron transistor as function of a perpendicular magnetic field. The device, which consists of a graphene island connected to source and drain electrodes via two narrow graphene constrictions is electronically characterized and the device exhibits a characteristic charging energy of approx. 3.5 meV. We investigate the homogeneity of the two graphene "tunnel" barriers connecting the single electron transistor to source and drain contacts as function of laterally applied electric fields, which are also used to electrostatically tune the overall device. Further, we focus on the barrier transparency as function of an applied perpendicular magnetic field and we find an increase of transparency for increasing magnetic field and a source-drain current saturation for magnetic fields exceeding 5 T.
