Framework for Evaluating Simulations: Analysis of Student Developed Interactive Computer Tools
21 Jul 2014 | Contributor(s):: Kelsey Joy Rodgers, Heidi A Diefes-Dux, Krishna Madhavan
Computer simulations are discussed in the learning environment from two major perspectives: 1) teaching students how to build simulations and 2) developing simulations to teach students targeted concepts. This study is approaching learning with simulations from a different perspective. We are...

Modeling the quantum dot growth in the continuum approximation
Papers | 12 Jan 2011 | Contributor(s):: Peter Cendula
Quantum dots can grow spontaneously during molecular beam epitaxy oftwo materials with different lattice parameters, Stranski-Krastanow growth mode.We study a mathematical model based on the continuum approximation of thegrowing layer in two dimensions. Nonlinear evolution equation is solved...
