Measuring discrete quantum states of metallic nanoparticles
How do you measure the electronic properties of individual nanoparticles or molecules that are only a few nm in size? Conventional methods using electron transport spectroscopy rely on contacting a material with two contacts, a source and a drain electrode. By...
Large-scale simulations of atom dynamics
Researchers develop a new method for simulating previously unstudied complex matter An international research team has developed a highly efficient novel method for simulating the dynamics of very large systems potentially containing millions of atoms, up to 1000...
