Over the past few decades, several approaches have been developed for designing nano-structured or molecularly-structured materials. These advances have revolutionized practically all fields of science and engineering, providing an additional design variable, the feature size of the nano-structures, which can be tailored to provide new materials with very special characteristics. Nanomaterials: Design and Simulation explores the role that such advances have made toward a rational design of nanos...

This volume presents a coherent and detailed description of the field, and brings together leaders in theoretical research. The book discusses today's state-of-the-art, as well as tomorrow's tools: the supercell-pseudopotential method, the GW formalism, Quantum Monte Carlo, learn-on-the-fly molecular dynamics, finite-temperature treatments and more. A wealth of applications are included, from point defects to wafer bonding or the propagation of dislocation.

Modern electronics is concerned with implementing hardware functions in semiconductor chips and the software that runs these semiconductor circuits. Very large scale integration (VLSI) of electronic circuits and systems needs interdisciplinary work by device physicists, process developers, circuit designers, design automation specialists, and computer architects. This book covers all these topics, from semiconductor devices to systems, in a compact manner. The text outlines the latest advances...
