Why are Atomistic Models Important in Nanotechnology?
At the nanoscale, materials exhibit unique properties that differ significantly from their bulk counterparts. Atomistic models allow researchers to explore these properties in great detail. For example, they can help in understanding the mechanical strength of carbon nanotubes, the electronic properties of graphene, or the behavior of quantum dots. These models enable the design of materials with tailored properties for specific applications, such as in nanoelectronics, biomedicine, and energy storage.
