Fedora EPEL Update Notification
FEDORA-EPEL-2011-5163

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : archimedes
Product : Fedora EPEL 5
Version : 2.0.0
Release : 1.el5
URL :
http://www.gnu.org/software/archimedes/
Summary : 2D Quantum Monte Carlo simulator for semiconductor devices
Description :
Archimedes is a package for the design and simulation of submicron
semiconductor devices. It is a 2D Fast Monte Carlo simulator which can take
into account all the relevant quantum effects, thank to the implementation of
the Bohm effective potential method.
The physics and geometry of a general device is introduced by typing a simple
script, which makes, in this sense, Archimedes a powerful tool for the
simulation of quite general semiconductor devices.

Update Information:
Since last FEL release, archimedes entails the following changes:
- The material parameters have been checked and modified
- Benchmark tests were carried out to check the validity of the framework
- Scattering phonons can be set to ON or OFF
- Support for Full band approach was implemented
- Parabolic, Kane and Full bank verified
- Full band parameters supports for all materials
- Initial implementation of FEM for Poisson
- Quantum Effective Potential modified
- Bohm Potential Model was implemented
- Calibrated Bohm Potential Model was implemented
- Density Gradient corrected and tested
- Full effective potential model was implemented
