MIMSIM is a simulation program developed in C/C++ to simulate electron tunneling. The program supports simulation from basic Metal-Insulator-Metal devices (suitable for evaluation of metal-gate devices), devices containing resonant energy levels (i.e., MIIM, MIMIM etc.,), and multi-electrode ballistic transport devices such as the MIMIM transistor and variants of. In addition to the "ideal" situation of an electron tunneling coherently from a metal (of a given work function) through an insulator (with a given electron affinity) a variety of non-ideal effect can be accounted for: electron-effective mass variations, dielectric variations, Fermi level pinning, traps, charge distributions, photon assisted tunneling, etc., The program features a graphical user interface, and batch mode, allowing simulations of devices spanning a vast matrix of material parameters to be evaluated. Python scripts subsequently parse the simulation results to identify material combinations that meet target device specification or compare to experimental measurements allowing one to guide experimental device/materials development.

Consulting services are available that make use of these capabilities to help understand dominating transport mechanisms in your current experimental work and subsequently direct future experiments.

I have used Mathematica to derive, validate, and optimize systems of equations to model physical processes. Thermal effects in devices, electromagnetic coupling, photon-assisted tunneling, time-lapse of wavepackets, travelling wave devices, along with a variety of other quantum transport phenomena.
