Title: Multiscale modeling in computational materials science for industry: case studies from Kintech Lab
Abstract:
We will present examples of predictive multiscale modeling in computational materials science, which were performed at Kintech Lab company during last 20 years. The multiscale workflows for different fields of industrial applications will be described, including thin film deposition for microelectronics, growth of carbon nanostructures, efficiency of energy conversion in photovoltaics and phosphors, degradation of SiC-based power electronic devices, modeling of polymer matrix nanocomposites, etc. In addition, we will describe software tools, developed at Kintech Lab for performing these multiscale studies.
