2004 Summer School on Computational Materials Science

Introduction to Computational Nanotechnology

Overview

Molecular Dynamics simulation of water inside a carbon nanotube (N.R. Aluru, UIUC) This short course will explore a range of computational approaches relevant for nanotechnology. Instructional materials are based on cutting edge, contemporary research, with an emphasis on problems in nano-scale science and engineering. The instructional level of the school will be appropriate to graduate students and post-docs, and will include both lectures and computer laboratories.

Topics will include:
