  • Abstract
    We report a numerical study of the self-energy correction due to correlation effects from dynamic screening of the moving electron in silicon nanowire transistors. This many-body effect, which is not included in the usual Hartree approximation, is then incorporated self-consistently into a non-equilibrium Green´s function (NEGF) code. The results pinpoint the importance of dielectric confinement whose magnitude can not be neglected compared to its quantum counterpart in ultimate nanowire transistors.
