Abstract
Standard treatments of the field emission problem typically rely on approximations to the evaluation of the Transmission Coefficient TC. Recently, the Wigner Distribution Function WDF has been applied to this problem. In this paper, fast, accurate, and efficient numerical algorithms for each are presented and compared to each other and to traditional WKB and Fowler Nordheim approaches for silicon field emission. As each approach admits a trajectory interpretation, the methods for incorporating each into a larger Ensemble Particle Monte Carlo EPMC simulation of quantum transport are briefly discussed.
