Grain Boundary Motion Analysis
08 Aug 2018 | Contributor(s):: Jeremy Seiji Marquardt, Xiaorong Cai, Marisol Koslowski
Grain growth is a mechanism to relax residual stresses in thin films. These grains grow out of the thin film surface and are known as whiskers. These whiskers can cause short circuits, so developing scalable and cost effective solutions would increase the reliability and...

Quantitative Modeling and Simulation of Quantum Dots
Presentation Materials | 18 Apr 2011 | Contributor(s):: Muhammad Usman
Quantum dots grown by self-assembly process are typically constructed by 50,000 to 5,000,000 structural atoms which confine a small, countable number of extra electrons or holes in a space that is comparable in size to the electron wavelength. Under such conditions quantum dots can be interpreted...
