Molecular Dynamics Simulation for Size- Dependent Propertics and Various Nanoscale Phenomena

Abstract

Stimulated by novel phenomena observed in molecular aggregates, recent developments in engineering fields of microscopic scales are creating tremendous opportunities for future nanotechnology-based applications. Investigation in the field involves sub-nanosecond or sub-micrometer interactions between extremely small systems, but researches to date in these physical extremes have been quite limited. Here, we shed light on some of nanoscale phenomena using molecular dynamics simulation: visualization of various phenomena of nanoscales and exploration of size-dependent mechanical properties.
