Amorphous carbon may be useful for solar energy conversion - UChicago
Researchers at the University of Chicago are using a new framework for understanding the electronic properties of amorphous carbon.
Galli pointed out that, for decades, scientists have modelled the way the atoms move in amorphous carbon using the laws of classical mechanics—the set of equations that describe, for example, how a car accelerates. After carrying out new simulations of the electronic properties of amorphous carbon, this time integrating quantum principles to describe the movements of both the electrons and nuclei of carbon atoms, Galli and her team found that using quantum mechanics for both—rather than classical mechanics for the nuclei—is critical to accurately predict the properties of amorphous carbon.
