Descriptions of the Functions Used Here


1. initaquila.m Here, some predened values are set and those values are dened as global variable. A structure named aquila control holds the values of dierent global variables. aquila control: aquila control.mode: 1 for one-dimensional problem and 2 for two-dimensional problem to be solved by the routine aquila control.periodic: 0 for non-periodic and 1 for periodic structure (For the heads up, the programme does not stops for the periodic problem. It solves for the periodicity once and again go back to the non-periodic state of the system). Default value is 0 aquila control.T: Lattice temperature. (FYI, electron temperature and lattice temperature is considered equal in the routine). Default value is 4.2K aquila control.berbose: Verbosity level of the output. Default value is 0 aquila control.Efermi: Fermi energy is calculated using the following: Ef ermi = 1 1.519 5.405 104 T 2 2 T + 204 (1)

aquila control.carriers: Carrier type in the Conduction Band (CB) (i.e. whether the carriers are from the -valley, X-peak or L-peak). Default value is GE (Gamma Electron and it is loaded from the constants.m)
