What are the Challenges in Studying Band Structures at the Nanoscale?
Studying band structures at the nanoscale presents several challenges. One major challenge is the accurate measurement of energy levels in nanomaterials, which often requires sophisticated experimental techniques such as scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). Additionally, the theoretical modeling of band structures in nanomaterials can be computationally intensive and may require advanced algorithms and high-performance computing resources.
