| - | ====== Update 2017/08/01 ====== | + | ====== Update 2020/11/20 ====== |
| - | New feature: a combined temperature-voltage sweep can be done using the keyword "Temperature-Voltage" in the field <SweepType> of <SweepParameters> (see the example of code below). In this case, the simulation can be parallelized. <Threads> defines the number of parallel threads (typically the number of cpu cores available). Within each parallel temperature sweep, a standard voltage sweep is performed. | + | Photon-assisted transport and gain clamping are now supported to simulate lasing above threshold and quantum cascade detectors. This new feature is illustrated in the sample files “MidIR_QCL_InGaAs_InAlAs_Bai_APL2011_GainClamping_12subbbands.xml“ (faster) and “MidIR_QCL_InGaAs_InAlAs_Bai_APL2011_GainClamping_21subbbands.xml” (more accurate) where LIV curves are calculated. |

| - | <code> | + | - Open boundary conditions for simulating e.g. Resonant Tunnelling Diodes (RTDs) are supported. See the 2 sample files in the “RTDs” subfolder of the sample files. [[qcl:simulation_of_resonant_tunneling_diodes_rtds|Simulation of devices with open boundary conditions]] |
