Don't Try These in the Real World
18 Jun 2012 | | Contributor(s):: Lee W. Schruben
Simulation models provide virtually unlimited power; or rather, they provide unlimited virtual power. If you can think of something, you can simulate it. Experimenting in a simulated world, you can change anything, in any way, at any time - even change time itself. Simulators are gods, ruling in...

Quantitative Modeling and Simulation of Quantum Dots
16 Jul 2010 | | Contributor(s):: Muhammad Usman
Quantum dots grown by self-assembly process are typically constructed by 50,000 to 5,000,000 structural atoms which confine a small, countable number of extra electrons or holes in a space that is comparable in size to the electron wavelength. Under such conditions quantum dots can be interpreted...
