Several computational methods are commonly used in nanotechnology. These include:
Molecular dynamics simulations: These involve the numerical solution of Newton's equations of motion for atoms and molecules to study their time-dependent behavior. Density functional theory (DFT): This quantum mechanical modeling method is used to investigate the electronic structure of multi-electron systems. Monte Carlo simulations: These stochastic methods use random sampling to solve physical and mathematical problems. Finite element analysis (FEA): This method subdivides a large system into smaller, simpler parts that are easier to analyze.
