Electronic Structure of Quantum Dots
Development of a Hybrid Molecular Dynamics - Brownian Dynamics
Simulation
Quantum dots promise to be very useful
in the development of optoelectronic devices.
However, methods for the deposition
of the quantum dots onto suitable substrates for such
devices are still being developed.
The deposition process can lead to structures that contain
thousands of quantum dots. We wish
to determine the chemical interactions that are responsible
for the development of these large
structures. To accomplish this we are developing a
molecular dynamics - Brownian dynamics
simulation that will facilitate the study of systems
on the micrometer scale over miliseconds.
