Abstract

Several numerical methods of solving the Schrödinger equation in semiconductor nanostructures are reviewed. Specificly, tight-binding recursive Green’s function techniques, mode matching, numerical path decomposition expansion (NPDX), and direct solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation in real and imaginary-time are presented. The methods are then applied to analysis of one and two particle systems in mesoscopic structures.
