Abstract

Actually, it is rather difficult to present examples of simulations which are both interesting for readers with experience in numerical modeling and informative for readers with just general interest in modeling but without specialized knowledge of device physics. I have chosen two examples which are intended as a fair trade-off between these objectives.
