AMaSiS 2024:
Applied Mathematics and Simulation for Semiconductor Devices

September 10–13, 2024
Weierstrass Institute Berlin

Scientific Scope

AMaSiS 2024 is an interdisciplinary workshop dedicated to the mathematical modeling and numerical simulation of semiconductor devices. AMaSiS 2024 aims at bringing together experts from mathematics, physics, engineering, and materials science for discussion of the following topics:

Computational materials science and electronic structure theory
Quantum and semiclassical transport: theory, analysis and numerical methods
Simulation of semiconductor devices: spin-qubit devices, transistors, laser diodes, LEDs, solar cells, etc.
Upscaling from quantum mechanics and particle systems to continuum scale models

The workshop is planned as a single-track program that will also include a poster session.

Tutorials

On September 10, 2024 there will be a tutorial session.

Tutorial 1: Jesús Carrete Montaña (U Zaragoza):
Thermal Conductivity Calculations with the Boltzmann Transport Equation and Machine-Learning Force Fields

Abstract:
Solutions of the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) for phonons with inputs from density-functional-theory (DFT) calculations have been successful at providing predictive, parameter-free estimates of the thermal conductivity of many pristine and defect-laden semiconductors, albeit at very significant computational cost. Machine-learning force fields, through their ability to provide results with DFT-like quality in a small fraction of the time, can revolutionize that situation. This tutorial will first guide the audience through all the steps of a conventional DFT+BTE calculation, followed by the active learning of a descriptor-based neural-network potential. That force field will then be validated by reproducing the ab-initio results.

Tutorial 2: Michele Simoncelli (U Cambridge):
Tutorial on Quantum Espresso

Abstract:

More details will be announced soon.

Call for Abstracts

We welcome contributed talks and posters for the workshop.
