چکیده

This contribution describes recent applications of supercomputers to describing phenomena occurring on the nanometer scale, which evade direct experimental observation. Dependable ab initio calculations can determine, whether all-carbon nanostructures may become metallic or even magnetic. Computer simulations help us understand, how to design nanostructures with unusual properties, such as high thermal conductivity, thermal contraction, and even nanoscale bonding systems for NEMS devices.

COMPUTATIONAL ENUMERATION OF POINT DEFECT CLUSTERS IN DOUBLE- LATTICE CRYSTALS

The cluster representation matrices have already been successfully used to enumerate close-packed vacancy clusters in all single-lattice crystals [I, 2]. Point defect clusters in double-lattice crystals may have identical geometry but are distinct due to unique atomic postions enclosing them. The method of representation matrices is extended to make it applicable to represent and enumerate ...
