• Abstract: It is now common practice to solve the Schr\"odinger equation to estimate the tunneling current between two metal electrodes at specified potentials, or the transmission through a potential barrier by assuming an incident, reflected, and transmitted wave. However, we suggest that these methods may not be appropriate for nanoscale circuits. The electron man-free path may be as long as 68.2 nm in metallic elements so we consider the possibility that quantum effects may occur throughout a nanoscale circuit, including the connections. Analytical methods are presented for modeling the coherent transfer of the wavefunction through a closed circuit.

  In some nanoscale circuits, the electron mean-free path may be as long as 68 nm in metals. We consider the use of single-crystal wires, and include a tunneling junction to focus and collimate the electrons near the axis. Our simulations suggest that, in addition to the incoherent phenomena, there are extremely sharply-defined coherent modes in nanoscale circuits.

  A new approach is required because the electron man-free path may be as long as 68.2 nm in metals so it is possible that the wavefunction may be coherent throughout a nanoscale circuit. We present several algorithms for determining the eigenvalues with different sets of the circuit parameters. We also present another algorithm that is being applied to determine the full solution for nanoscale circuits.
