1.1. About Sesame

Sesame is a Python3 package for solving the drift diffusion Poisson equations for multi-dimensional systems using finite differences.

The software computes the steady state of a semiconductor between two contacts, and subject to voltage bias and/or illumination. It was developed to study polycrystalline solar cells containing charged interfaces (grain boundaries, sample surface). Sesame handles single charged states and continuum of defect states alike.
