Ab Initio Calculations

Modeling and model validation is always important to the interpretation of physical measurements. Density-functional calculations are being used to study the geometry, stability, and conduction mechanisms in electrically-active molecules. Additionally, the results from these calculations are also used as for modeling through-molecule charge transport using analytic theories.
