Our group pays attention to the multi-scale analysis for the mechanical properties of solid, which covers the density functional theory (DFT), molecular dynamics simulation (MD) and finite element method (FEM). The left figures illustrate the multi-scale analysis for the surface of silicon. Since the electron-level defects affect the macroscopic properties such as intrinsic stress and elastic constants, microscopic investigation is indispensable. |
