1. Bandgap Manipulation of Armchair Graphene nanoribbon

   Papers | 01 Sep 2020 | Contributor(s):: Lance Fernandes

   Bandgap Manipulation is very important for various applications. Optical Devices need smaller Bandgap where as Diode's need larger Bandgap. Armchair graphene Nanoribbon (AGNR) has a special property where if the numbers of atoms are multiple of three or multiple of three plus one, they are...

2. Framework for Evaluating Simulations: Analysis of Student Developed Interactive Computer Tools

   Papers | 21 Jul 2014 | Contributor(s):: Kelsey Joy Rodgers, Heidi A Diefes-Dux, Krishna Madhavan

   Computer simulations are discussed in the learning environment from two major perspectives: 1) teaching students how to build simulations and 2) developing simulations to teach students targeted concepts. This study is approaching learning with simulations from a different perspective. We are...

3. Computer in Science Engineering: featuring nanoHUB.org

   Papers | 22 Apr 2010

   The current issue of Computing in Science and Engineering focuses on cyber-enabled nanotechnology, and nanoHUB.org is featured extensively throughout.

4. The Transparency Paradox: Computational Simulations as Learning Tools for Engineering Graduate Education

   Papers | 08 Apr 2010 | Contributor(s):: Alejandra J. Magana, Sean Brophy,

   Computational simulations have become a critical part of computational science, which is being described as the third leg in this century’s methodologies of science. Computational simulations have also become a critical element of learning experiences as they can provide engineering students with...

5. Are Simulation Tools Developed and Used by Experts Appropriate Experimentation Tools for Educational Contexts?

   Papers | 08 Apr 2010 | Contributor(s):: Alejandra J. Magana, Sean Brophy,

   Simulations and visualizations can lead to significant improvements in students'conceptual understanding. This increased understanding may be due to the formation of expert-like dynamic mental models. Laboratory simulations have been used in educational contexts forinquiry learning by allowing...

6. Professors' Instructional Approaches and Students' Perceptions of nanoHUB Simulations as Learning Tools.

   Papers | 08 Apr 2010 | Contributor(s):: Alejandra J. Magana, Sean Brophy,

   Simulations can provide a critical element of learning experiences. Simulations are alsobecoming a critical part of computational science, which is being described as the thirdlegin this century's methodologies of science (Sabelli, et. al, 2005). Opportunities existto use the same simulation as...
