1. The Basics of Quantum Monte Carlo

   4.5 out of 5 stars 

   Online Presentations | 15 Jun 2007 | Contributor(s):: Lucas Wagner, Jeffrey C Grossman, Jeffrey B. Neaton

   Quantum Monte Carlo is a highly accurate method to approximately solve the Schrodinger equation. I explain quantum Monte Carlo in a way that should be accessible to someone who is somewhat familiar with quantum mechanics. The discussion is mostly conceptual.Lucas Wagner is a postdoctoral...

   Online Presentations | 10 May 2007 | Contributor(s):: James Leary

3. Non Equilibrium Green's Functions for Dummies: Introduction to the One Particle NEGF equations

   3.5 out of 5 stars 

   Papers | 30 Oct 2006 | Contributor(s):: Magnus Paulsson

   Non equilibrium Green's function methods are regularly used to calculate current and charge densities in nanoscale (both molecular and semiconductor) conductors under bias. This method is mainly used for ballistic conduction but may be extended to include inelastic scattering. In this tutorial...

4. A Gentle Introduction to Nanotechnology and Nanoscience

   4.5 out of 5 stars 

   Online Presentations | 13 Feb 2006 | Contributor(s):: Mark Ratner

   While the Greek root nano just means dwarf, the nanoscale has become a giant focus of contemporary science and technology. We will examine the fundamental issues underlying the excitement involved in nanoscale research - what, why and how. Specific topics include assembly, properties,...
