THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF N00014-14-1-0715 Multiscale Methods Using Objective Structures
Abstract
Abstract. Tiris proposal initiates a program of research on the discovery of new nanostructures based on the concept of Objective Structures (OS). Tiris concept of atomic structure includes ordinary crys tals (Bravais as well as complex lattices), and also the main structures of nanotechnology, including carbon nanotubes of any chirality, buckyballs, graphene sheets, the building blocks of most viruses, many of the basic protein molecules, as well as the nanosprings, nanorods and nanoribbons that are mainstays of nanotechnology. The main tasks of the research areto examine the application of the theory to non-equilibrium settings, based on special solutions obtained from the theory. A related focus will be to examine the process of self-assembly based on the geometric tools introduced by OS.
