Abstract
In this work we present a semi-classical modeling and simulation approach for ultra-narrow channels that has been implemented as part of the Vienna Schrödinger-Poisson (VSP) simulation framework (Baumgartner, J Comput Electron 12:701–721, 2013; http://www.globaltcad.com/en/products/vsp.html (2014)) over the past few years. Our research has been driven by two goals: maintaining high physical accuracy of the models while producing a computationally efficient and flexible simulation code.
