Abstract: This symposium will focus on theoretical and computational methods used in determining the structure and properties of complex materials. A wide-variety of methods ranging from time-dependent density functional theory to tightbinding molecular dynamics, genetic algorithm, Gutzwiller density functional theory, multi-scale modeling, and realspace Green's function techniques will be discussed to study the properties of complex materials ranging from amorphous solids, nanowires, layered structures, and nanoclusters for their potential applications in renewable energy , microelectronics, hydrogen storage, catalysis, and metal-ion batteries.
