Atomistic Potentials and the Future of Nanomaterials Metrology

Ongoing
Atomistic simulations are increasingly being used as a tool to understand and predict properties of materials in systems, such as nanomaterials, where direct measurement is time-consuming or extremely difficult. The success of atomistic simulations depends critically on the fidelity of a specific...
