One of the fundamental issues is the high-field transport in NCs. This requires the combination of a number of tools: ensemble Monte Carlo carrier transport simulation, ab initio band structure of the bulk oxide, Fermi's golden rule modeling of impact ionization and Auger processes and the pseudopotential-based atomistic description of the confined NC states. These elements are outlined in this brief report.EnglishAb initio band structuresAuger processesFermi's golden ruleHigh-field transportPseudo potentialsSemiconductor nanocrystalsSolar-cell applicationsTransport modellingTransport simulationsCivil aviationDirect energy conversionNanocrystalline alloysNanocrystalsNanostructured materialsNanostructuresNanotechnologySemiconductor materialsSolar energyImpact ionizationConference Paper10.1002/pssc.200673327
