SYMPOSIUM C
Computational Modeling of Materials

With the rapid development of computer hardware and new theoretical techniques in recent years, it has become possible to study realistically very large systems. These advances allowed the rational design of new materials and the reliable prediction of their properties.
With the advent of nanoscience the theoretical approaches in materials science are receiving more attention as reflected by the large amount of work devoted to nanotubes, nanowires, quantum dots and related structures.
This symposium will provide an opportunity to discuss theory, modeling, and computational simulations in many areas of materials science.

Abstracts are solicited (but not limited) to the following areas:

molecules, clusters, solids, and surfaces
metals, polymers, ceramics, etc.
new computational methods
classical and quantum molecular dynamics
electronic structure
structural, optical and magnetic properties
functional nanomaterials
computational design of new materials
