Quantum Design of Complex Nanostructured Electronic Materials

Williamson A.J., Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, US

Over the last decade, our ability to predict the fundamental properties of nanoscale building blocks such as quantum dots, wires, and slabs has improved dramatically. In particular, first principles modeling techniques can now routinely predict [...]

Designing Opto-Electronic Nanomaterials Using First Principles Simulations

Williamson A.J., Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, US

The results of recent first principles simulations of the structural and opto-electronic of semiconductor nanomaterials will be presented. We will show how the opto-electronic properties of silicon nanomaterials can be controlled by altering their size, [...]
