nextnano

nextnano is a software suite for the simulation of three-dimensional semiconductor nanostructures. It provides a global insight into a wide range of electronic, optical, and transport characteristics of mesoscopic semiconductor structures, including strain, charging, magnetic fields, and electrolytes. Technically, it provides tools to solve the coupled Schrödinger, Poisson, and semiclassical as well as quantum transport equations in one, two and three spatial dimensions.

• nextnano.net (C# code)
  nextnano.net website (under construction)
  This code is the successor of the nextnano++ code and is currently in a pre-release stage. It has been developed at the Walter Schottky Institute since 2008.
• nextnano++ (C++ code)
  nextnano++ website (Documentation, Download)
  This code has been developed at the Walter Schottky Institute in the years 2004-2010. It is maintained by the Walter Schottky Institute (Vogl group) and is the successor of the nextnano³ code.
• nextnano³ (Fortran 2003 code)
  nextnano³ website (Documentation, Download)
  This code has been developed at the Walter Schottky Institute in the years 1999-2010. It is now maintained, distributed and supported by the nextnano³ company. Contact: support [at] nextnano.de
• All three nextnano codes can be run by the nextnanomat graphical user interface available from the nextnano company. This GUI is able to visualize the output of 1D, 2D and 3D simulations.
