T2008 Structure-Property Modeling Strategies for Nanostructures
OverviewThis is a session on modeling of structure and properties of nanostructures and their structure-property relations. Papers emphasizing modeling strategies and prediction of structure and properties of nanostructured materials are solicited. Papers on the mechanisms of nanostructure development during processing are also sought. Comparisons with experiments are highly desirable.
