Abstract:Systems at the nanoscale can exhibit distinctive and unexpected properties in electrical, magnetic, mechanical, and chemical aspects. Understanding these properties not only is of importance from the fundamental scientific view but also offers great opportunities for future applications. Theoretical calculations can provide important information to interpret, modify, and predict the novel properties of objects at the nanoscale and therefore play a significant role in the process of exploring the nano world.
