question on transistor simulation tutorial
« on: October 11, 2020, 17:16 »
hi everyone,
I try to simulate graphene nanoribbon transistor ( z shape ) as mentioned in the tutorial. I do some calculations and I got a problem in the interpretation of what is happening in this tutorial. I would wonder if someone can help me. ( in the device3.py in this tutorial there is a hydrogen atom which should be removed.)

The result shows a very low transmission in -1 to 1 eV range (Vg=0) using GGA-SZP which is in good agreement with Armchair GNR bandgap IF we consider it very long along z-direction, but in this tutorial, we are studying an armchair in z shape which is very short and if we just split this device3.py and add 20 angstrom to the center and getting bandstructure we will see that the bandgap is reduced to 0.2eV which means that due to quantum confinement along z-direction the new (z shape armchair ) has small bandgap which is not in agreed with the transmission results.
I can not understand the channel is considered as a  long armchair ? or is it a small one? or due to very little subbands forming a 0.2 eV gap in this quasi-quantum dot armchair shape structure! we can not get the transmission around it?

thanks
Rose

How To Choose The Best Upright Vacuum Cleaner

Choosing the best upright vacuum cleaner depends on your purposes. Answer the following questions:

  • Will you use the upright vacuum cleaner for removing pet hair?
  • Are you looking for HEPA filtration, which can keep your house from allergen?
  • Do you need to clean your carpets with the upright vacuum cleaner?
After knowing what you really need, you should also consider maintenance for long time use and usability for easy movement as well. All of these features help you determine what the best vacuum cleaners in the world are.

#1. Floor and carpet cleaning

Many upright vacuum cleaners are designed for cleaning both hardwood floors and carpet, so you have to use the right function. When cleaning your solid surface, remember to turn off the carpet cleaning function. If not, it might cause a scratch on your floor.

To completely remove all dust and dirt deep in your carpet, you need an upright vacuum cleaner, which can produce a lot of power. On the current market, some vacuums are integrated with a dirt sensor, alerting you to deal with the last speck of grime.



#2. Noise level

Typically, most powerful upright vacuum cleaners produce more or less noise, and they are never in the "silent" or "ultra-quiet" range. A full-sized machine has a noise output of 70-80 dB.

#3. Pet hair cleaning

Do you have lovely pets at home?

If yes, you might know that they shed hair around your house. Without solving this problem, it can cause allergy. A grooming tool can help you get rid of a large amount of pet hair. But, the best upright vacuum cleaner can clean pet hair on your furniture, sofa, and upholstery.

#4. Manageability

Apart from the effect of cleaning stairs and ceiling, a good upright model should be easy to use, control, and store for easy manageability.

Some models allow you to adjust the height of the brush roll for cleaning each specific area. It's better to choose a lightweight vacuum to move around your house quickly.

#5. Filter

The majority of the best vacuum cleaners can clean surfaces to leave fresh air. However, not all of them have proper air filtration.

Why should you buy a vacuum cleaner with a filter?

Micron level filters are useful in trapping the smallest particles of dirt, dust, even allergens. But, if you want a model that can both decrease emissions and keep you from allergies and asthma, you had better invest in a HEPA filter.



#6. Bag or bagless

Do you want to purchase a vacuum cleaner with a bag or bagless feature?

The bagged vacuum cleaner can keep you from dirt and dust better because there is no need to contact things inside directly. But this choice is no environmentally friendly and cheap. After the bag is filled with dirt and dust, you have to throw the bag away and replace a new one.

A bagless model comes with a dirt container. After it is full, you will empty this item. This solution helps you save a lot of money, but there is a high risk of dust in the air.

What is The Best Vacuum Cleaner?

It should have both floor and carpet cleaning options. If possible, you should choose an easy to use, move, control, and store machine. In particular, the help of a filter can result in a better performance.

Could you provide more information on this calculation, python script, log file and possibly hdf5 output or transmission plot at least? What is the QunatumATK version you are using?
