How Are Electron-Electron Interactions Studied in Nanotechnology?
Researchers use a variety of experimental and theoretical techniques to study electron-electron interactions in nanoscale systems. Techniques such as scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) provide high-resolution images and data on the electronic properties of nanomaterials. Theoretical approaches often involve density functional theory (DFT) and other quantum mechanical models to predict and analyze these interactions.
