Computational Nano-Electronics

Dr. Qin Hu.

We are also involved in atomic-level simulations and modeling for research in the materials area. This includes Molecular Dynamics for semiconductors, metals, ceramics and polymers. DL_POLY (developed at Daresbury Laboratory by W. Smith, T.R. Forester and I.T. Todorov) and LAMMPS (developed at Sandia National Laboratories) are two of the tools being used. Simulations particle-beam surface interactions, material crack development, film growth, and laser induced surface effects are being studied.
