Description

We consider 1D scattering problems related to quantum transport in diodes. We discuss the efficient numerical integration of ODEs like $\epsilon^2*u"+a(x)*u=0$ for $0<\epsilon<<1$ on coarse grids, but still yielding accurate solutions; including oscillatory (for given $a(x)>0$) and evanescent regimes (for $a(x)<0$), partly including turning points. In the oscillatory case we use a marching method that is based on an analytic WKB-preprocessing of the equation. And in the evanescent case we use a FEM with WKB-ansatz functions.
