Predicting Electron Transport Under Surface Scattering
Surface is a common scatterer to electron transport. The surface scattering is critical to many applications such as interconnects and sensors. For example, as the demands of microelectronics push for increasingly smaller interconnects, the need for higher electrical conductivity becomes more pronounced.
