Sorting through nanoparticles and nanoplatelets with first principles calculations
Using first principles molecular dynamics and electronic structure calculations, we investigate fundamental properties of complex semiconducting nanoparticles and nanoplatelets and their relevance to the design of electronic and solar energy conversion devices. In particular, we discuss electronic properties [1] and structure-function relationships [2], including ensemble of nanoparticles [3-5].
