The use of cloudy accounts in teaching of chemical disciplines

Abstract

Theoretical modeling and simulation play an important role in understanding the subtle and complex behavior of nanostructures. Atomic simulations can capture the microscale mechanism of nanostructures, but they are limited to very small systems due to their computational cost. Nanostructure modeling is the computation of the positions and orbitals of atoms in arbitrary nanostructures. Accurate atomic-scale quantum theory of nanostructures and nanosystems fabricated from nanostructures enables precision metrology of these nanosystems and provides the predictive, precision modeling tools needed for engineering these systems for applications including advanced semiconductor lasers and detectors, single photon detectors, etc.
