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.
