3-day workshop whose aim is to introduce CFD researchers to use OpenFOAM suite for developing and optimize CFD applications running on HPC systems.
Stick-and-ball picture of two silicon nanocrystals, each with a size of few nanometers. According to quantum mechanics, an electron can spread over several nanocrystals (green surface, results of a computational study). When this happens, an effect called space separated quantum cutting can become relevant, yielding to higher photoconversions properties

Thanks to numerical simulations, scientists have investigated the role of nanoparticle interplay on the carrier multiplication dynamics of 2 interacting silicon nanocrystals for photovoltaic applications. Results provide theoretical foundations to recent experimental observations in the field of silicon-based photovoltaics and can foster the development of nanostructured 3rd-generation solar cells
