Landauer–Datta–Lundstrom model for terahertz transistor amplifier based on graphene

Аннотация

A transistor has been considered in the form of three electrodes connected by graphene ribbons or by metal quantum wires (nanowires) that operate on the principle of the current control by the changing voltage at the central electrode (gate). The analysis has been carried out according to the Landauer–Datta–Lundstrom model in equilibrium approximation for electrodes while fixing their potentials. We have obtained linear models and nonlinear terms in the determining current, and calculated the nonlinear current–voltage performances of graphene nanoribbons.
