BITLLES

Bohmian Interacting Transport in non-equiLibrium eLEctronic Structures (*)

BITLLES is a user-friendly and general-purpose software for the time-dependent simulation (DC, AC, noise) of electron transport in nanoelectronic devices, using semi-classical or quantum (Bohmian) trajectories. The software is developed by the Departament d'Enginyeria Electrònica from Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona

(*) The acronym BITLLES (Bohmian Interacting Transport for non-equiLibrium eLEctronic Structures) is also the catalan name of the bowling pins, which are solid pieces of plastic or wood situated in a periodic structure (similar to a solid-state device) waiting for a ball (an electron) to impinge on them.
