It is usual to define the electronic properties of microstructure of            solid state devices in relation to the degree of freedom of mobile              charge carriers, i. e. simple layered structures are referred as 2-             dimensional (2D) systems, double confined structures or quantum wires           and quantum balls are defined as 1-D and 0-D systems respectively.  In          general, these systems are referred to as Ultra-Low Dimensional                 Systems (ULDS).  Current technology is based on the 2-D systems.                However, advances in high resolution fine line lithography and crystal          growth techniques indicate that microstructure on the scale of quantum          wires and balls may be possible.                                                                                                                                The potential use of the artificial materials with 1-D or 0-D                   microstructures for computer memory and ultra-high device integration           is considerable.  Efficient device simulation algorithms are necessary          for modeling the properties of the microstructure and indispensable to          the introduction of this next generation of VLSI technology.  This              research project addresses the development of a robust, fast, and               flexible algorithm to determine the relevant physical and                       microstructure parameters for optimal design and performance of                 devices of the Ultra-low Dimensional Systems.  A team of young                  investigators composed of device physicists, numerical analyst, and             computer scientist will be formed as an interdisciplinary group.
