Warp VND

• Warp VND is a Sirepo-based app for high-fidelity modeling of thermionic converters, which are a type of vacuum nanoelectronic device (VND).

• Thermionic converters generate electricity directly from heat, via thermionic emission of electrons.

• The underlying physics kernel is based on Warp, a massively parallel PIC code.

• Warp VND supports a small subset of Warp’s capabilities.

• The Warp source code is available on Bitbucket.

• Warp is developed and supported at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Warp is part of the Berkeley Lab Accelerator Simulation Toolkit.
