Abstract
We present fully self-consistent NEGF calculations for GaAs/InGaAs heterostructures in a regime where multiple scattering, interference, carrier confinement, and carrier capture must be treated on an equal footing. We include the coupling between G< and GR within the device self-consistently and take into account scattering within the leads.
