EMC/FDTD/MD simulation of carrier transport and electrodynamics in two-dimensional electron systems

Abstract

We present the implementation and application of a multiphysics simulation technique to carrier dynamics under electromagnetic excitation in supported two-dimensional electronic systems. The technique combines ensemble Monte Carlo (EMC) for carrier transport with finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) for electrodynamics and molecular dynamics (MD) for short-range Coulomb interactions among particles. We demonstrate the use of this EMC/FDTD/MD technique by calculating the room-temperature dc and ac conductivity of graphene supported on SiO2.Comment: Part of JCEL special issue on Multiscale and Multiphysics Modelin
