Abstract

Results obtained from a Wigner function quantum Monte Carlo simulation of resonant tunneling diodes are presented. Methods of introducing partial weights of electrons through an affinity as well as methods for incorporating negative values of the Wigner function are discussed. Results showing tunneling and correlation build-up during resonance are presented as evidence of a working model.
