About

nextnano³, the predecessor of nextnano++, shares many similarities with its successor. It offers the same core functionality and design versatility as nextnano++, with the addition of materials such as graphene and electrolytes.

While nextnano³ is not as actively developed as nextnano++, it still offers unique functionalities not available in nextnano++. In fact, it's often the first platform where new implementations are tested before being carefully integrated into nextnano++. For example, nextnano³ features the 30-band model for bulk crystals, tight-binding model, k.p interface model, and classical avalanche effect.

We recognize that some of our customers may still prefer nextnano³ as it provides a range of tutorials that are not available yet in nextnano++. However, we recommend using nextnano++ wherever possible as it benefits from ongoing development and improvements, which enhances its convergence stability and speed. Our customer support and consulting services prioritize nextnano++ as the primary tool. Furthermore, nextnano++ features a more user-friendly input file syntax, enhancing usability.
