Abstract
Based on the non-equilibrium Green’s function formalism the performance of carbon nanotube field-effect transistors has been studied. The effects of elastic scattering and the impact of parameters of inelastic scattering, such as electron-phonon coupling strength and phonon energy, on the device performance are analyzed.
