Topic 6 – Innovative approaches for analysing raw materials value chains
With quantummechanical calculations we can provide atomistic insight into electronic, optical, mechanical, magnetic and thermodynamic properties of materials. This includes thermodynamic stability or phase separation.
Our calculations should be considered as complementary to physical experiments, in particular in situations were experiments are difficult or dangerous.
