  The quantitativelly accurate prediction of materials behavior from first principles requires the chracterization of a wide range of phenomena with disparate temporal and spatial scales form electrons and atoms to devices. No single theory of computational model can capture all these phenomena ...

• 9.7 Ranking Klimeck: Quantum Dots

  Quantum Dots

  Quantum Dots are man-made artificial atoms that confine electrons to a small space. As such they have atomic-like behavior and enable the study of quantum mechanical effects on a length scale that is around 100 times larger than the pure atomic scale. Quantum dots offer application opportunities ...
